Actually I have 3 sets of rims (don't ask)
Snow Set (17 " Moda 14 with Michelins)
Summer Set (18" Lorenzo 21 with Michelin Pilot Super Sports)
And my stock rims with Bridgestone RFT's
I use them when I take a tour as insurance against tire failure.
The original silver with all those spokes converge on a very thick center. To me that looked more like a cheap hubcap. Visually I was disappointed. Bit the casting had no machined edges for obvious transitions of colour and texture.
Originally I planned to just go darker with an all over antracite wheel paint.
Recently I have seen a flat gray on an Audi that looks interesting.
I can always go back to silver.
All that tape ?
Well I expected to lay down the translucent shadow chrome paint in two or three 'levels". First the support spokes would get coated the darkest, followed by the rims with the last 'unmasking " being the main spokes.
As Murphy would have it, there was a problem with a drip curtain on the rim and that required more paint to cover that. End result being very minimal contrast between the rim and the support spokes.
The jury is still out on the results. Not exactly what I wanted, but OK for now. An easy fix if I decide to go back or go darker.
Just enjoying my Zed.
