I've been wanting to get a set of the glo ryders for my spyder but when I check them out online they seem to only cater to the rs and rt models. Basically only for aluminum alloy colored rims. Of course the rs-s models come with black rims. Does anyone out there have them installed on black rims? How do they look? I sure would hate to buy a set them have to end up painting them to match. It should be a finish that should be offered by glo ryder. Hopefully maybe they can do a custom order and paint them black for me.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Glo Ryders on RS-S

I have them on my RS-S also. I had them with the factory color for the last 8 months, but took a chance and had them painted black to match the rims a week ago, they look great. Will post a pic tomorrow. Ensure that your painter, covers the glass so it won't affect the sensor.

Thanks for the info. When i'm ready to order I will call Glo Ryder directly to see if they can coat them in black... I highly doubt it though, but worth a shot. I'm just trying to dodge the bullet (so to speak) and not have to do any painting. For small jobs i usually do my own painting.

You should contact them to check on black... I think that their site shows some designs on a black cap.

Got mine today. Have not replaced my original ones yet but been playing with them on the coffee table. Very cool changing colors. Did not understand that the controller would mimic the Gloryder color - awesome feature.
Think a timer in lieu of the photocell would be a nice feature. That way you could set how long they stay on. Like 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours.

Seems like they could accomodate us RSS owners with a Black series so we wouldent have to paint them right out of the box?

I pm'ed them last year about the rss and they didn't seem too enthusiastic about doing one in gloss black or flat black. guess the market is limited and they are shooting at the bigger picture! too bad!:dontknow:i'd sure like a set of them, but not willing to go the extra mile myself.

I think that there's a thread down in the vendor's area where they ask if anybody is interested in a black anodized version...

was planning on being at spyderfest, but life dealt the wife a little bump in the road. once we get past this---- lookout! sure wished they'd consider making a black powder coated option. they don't have to have all the different covers available that way, but one would be great!:thumbup:
