Painted wheels

[D-BLOCK]

I am doing a GSXR 1000 wheel conversion and I took my old chrome wheels off to sell them. I'm using the money to get the new GSXR wheels chromed. While I am waiting for the wheels to come back I gonna use my OEM wheels. I didn't like that ugly gun metal, charcoal color so I decided to change them. I didn't want to go with pc and waist money on somethin I wasn't gonna keep on my Busa. I painted them with engine enamel. Its heat protected and its a quick fix. What do you think?

just wondering why one would change to 1k wheels. They look very similar to the oem.

the wheels are similar but different. They are not as bulky and they are lighter. If you look at them side by side you can see the difference.


Thanks guys. They are holding up well. I've put about 200 miles on them and they are fine.
