When you change your tires and rebalance them you paint will bad.  Moving wheel weights and working the beads off the rims will rub the paint right off.

SO R U SAYIGN I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION NOT TO TAKE OF THE RUBBER?

[dgyver]

I painted the rear wheel with the tire installed that I have on my bike now. If a proper tire removal tool is used, one that does not touch the wheel, you will not have paint damage. Normally stick-on weight are used and they do not scratch the wheel. The weights are covered with duct tape to prevent any mishaps. Even with just factory paint, they will get scratched, especially with the clamp-on weights.

These wheels are from my '89 Kat.  I had mine sand blasted by a friend for free.  The powder coating was about $70CDN per wheel.  They were done with the fork sliders, handle bar mount and a couple parts for the swing arm all for $200.  

Sorry about the picture quality .. shooting with a digital videocam. (spending all my money on the Katana). The pictures do not do them justice.  They are gun metal grey with metallic and clear coat - very shiny.

is it wrong that my first thought when i saw your rims was, "Nice tires?"

Looks good, though. Just hope you have a red bike...

WOW, just $70....where did you get that done? i hope someone in windsor does the same

[500rider]

It's called Achord Metal Products (519) 649-2730 .. guys name is Gary.  He does alot of motorcycle stuff.  Frames, tanks, wheels ... anything.  You just have to have the paint stripped prior.  He has a little sand blaster and goes over the part quickly just prior to paint.
