I really love the original translucent Orange but perhaps it's because I have a little bit of history with them! I got to travel to China to develop that color. It was VERY difficult to get a consistent thickness (especially between hand-operated powder application) on those wheels so if it was a few mil too thick, or thin, it would really effect the color...and therefore the match between front & back. A few mil too thin the color could look Green, too thick and they look Red. This color variance was exaggerated by the machined outer portion of the rim which bounces a spectrum of color. Other obstacles would be he geometries natural Faraday Cage in a few spots which would repel the powder. I remember the powder coat factory was super low quality, dust everywhere, and at one point during my tour the electric that controls the track went out. The operator had to just wiggle the extension cord a bit and they were back up & running! After the disturbing tour they showed us the fully automated, state-of-the-art, facility above that particular operation. It was clean enough to eat off the floor but we had to double our volumes before they fired it up! Lots of fun with them and I got a mild case of SARS, don't know if you recall that virus?!?! Good times and I LOVE that color
