Author Message   Bigsherm9r Posted on Saturday, July 29, 2006 - 10:55 pm:        Are they a similar color to the orange "Buell" lettering on an '03 white 9? I'm considering new black bodywork and the orange wheels, along with the '03 airbox lettering. Thanks! Sherm   Cochise Posted on Saturday, July 29, 2006 - 11:18 pm:        No, I believe they are darker (Sunset Orange) I do think it would be a good contrast, however. I am wanting to get Thrust Blue for my bike to go with my stock Sunset Orange wheels.   Midknyte Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 01:45 pm:        Are they a similar color to the orange "Buell" lettering on an '03 white 9? I'm right there with you wanting a nugget of info this too. There are a total of 3 dealers in the US with these wheels in stock. One is Bloomington Indiana. Sorry, don't recall the other two. I asked about them at the factory [homecomming] and was told also that they are darker than the 03 lettering - but I still want to see and decide for myself... Was thumbing thru rags at a newsstand last night and saw a pic of a Firebolt with what looked to be the Sunset rims and they looked mighty close...   Angelwild327 Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 01:53 pm:        Those wheels are more of a tomato-orange-red color...definitely not orange-orange..lol   Tommy_k Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 02:05 pm:        I agree with Angel. People call mine red all the time. TK   Indy_bueller Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 05:11 pm:        Sherm, they are definatly darker. I had the same idea for my 03 9R. Bloomington is my dealer so I had a close look at the ones they have for sale on the floor. Definatly not a match.   The_new_guy Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 05:17 pm:        FYI - There are red xb wheels like on the xb12ss on ebay for $575 per pair, new. Gregg   Anonymouss Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 05:22 pm:        I would tell you that I have them in stock, but i'm not a vendor(despite numerous efforts to contact Blake to become a vendor). Therefore I'm not allowed to tell you that, so I wont. Seth   Diablobrian Posted on Monday, July 31, 2006 - 08:12 pm:        definitely darker than the logo. I saw them side by side with my bike at homecoming. You'd be better off having a paint shop mix a color to match the logos and painting your wheels. powder coating is far harder to match the color. I'd leave the lips of the rim unpainted
