I know a guy who painted his RS black then powdercoated the wheels gloss black.
It looked sharp.
The problem with gloss black wheels is the back wheel starts to look dirty by the yime you reach the end of the driveway.
I like how the color of our RS wheels do not show dirt on a long trip.
The silver wheels on our K1200RS, K75 bikes and R100RT would start to look dirty on the 2nd day of a trip and really look a mess after a rain.
