Has anyone considered powdercoating rims? Spoke to a friend and he powdercoated his white, they look real sharp. Bet that would be a good color for the blue and white F, or even a blue, or silver.....does anyone know if these rims can be done or if somone has already done it. My buddy did it on his K1200s BMW bike, think he said maybe 60 bucks a rim, if you take the rim off and walk into the powdercoater.

I think the wheels should have been blue on the blue bikes like the gsxr range. 8)

I was thinking the same thing. White or blue would look great on the blue bike.

some times you have to reduce the photo size to be able to upload on image maker, otherwise it will not load.
