What would you expect to get delivered if you won this auction??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4629889004& sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT

Just want some opinions before I start slingin' mud.

I'd expect a clean, straight front wheel. Minus bearings, bolts, and brake rotor.
Also minus curb rash, dings and chips.

what do I win?

Would you expect it to be black??

Maybe I read too much into the pic.

Don't look black to me. And if it was Black, I'd think he woulda said black. But he doesn't he says ready for powder coating..Black wouldn't be ready for powder coating, would it?

Well it did say bearings removed for powdercoat.
BUT I would be expecting the black wheel unless stated in the auction that it was stripped or another color, which I did not see...

If you aren't going to powdercoat the thing, why strip the bearings?

I could most likely put in some work on the lips and bring her up to an 8/10, but I think I'll just paint it black to match the nice black rear wheel I just bought.

Black wheel with a polished lip...

The lighting is off, which makes it look silvery, but if you look closely at the zoom in on the Buell, it is actually a black powdercoat, almost to a matte finish...

This is weird. Some say silver, some say black.

The seller says there is no black wheel.

Sure looks black on my new 19" LCD, but when I used a differen't computer with a CRT monitor, the wheel is silver!!!?? Strange. I even cranked the brightness and contrast all the way up on the LCD and it still appeared pretty much black(although I couldn't look at the screen for very long for fear of going blind).
