Colliding ring galaxies provide a remarkable testbed for the study of star formation in perturbed galaxies. In the process of passing through a disk system, a small perturbing galaxy generates a density wave of stars and gas which expands into the host disk. This triggers a wave of star formation. As the star forming wave passes through the host galaxy, progressively older burst populations may be found interior to the ring. As part of a multiwavelength study of ring galaxies, we have performed optical and infrared imaging using the Kitt Peak 2.1m telescope. These images are used to explore the relation between stellar density wave amplitude and star formation rate. Color gradients are searched for which would indicate the presence of an aging burst population interior to the ring.
