Well thanks for the link cecil and as for your questions guys the wheels have to be stripped completely no bearings no tire no nothing....I have a shop that sand blasts so that isnt an issue..I have to count up how many wheels we have right now and then try to get some of the same colors ect.... Post up what size wheels you plan on having done or parts and also the colors and if I need to blast them ... Post up how many wheels and parts colors ect.. and we will work out a tr deal


Thanks chris aka racingtheburg

2 rims for my bike...

17" x 3.5
17" x 6

I'd like to get them the same color as the red/orange on my bike:

I can give you a piece of plastic that has the color on it if you want. I have lots of broken plastic of that color lying around. Its kind of a red with a fluorescent orange, but as long as the color looks close enough, I don't care if its exact. I know it isn't that easy with powdercoating to match colors perfectly.

Not sure if you need to blast them. I think Aprilia anodizes the wheels the grey color that they are, if that tells you anything.
