When my wheels on my Honda 600rr decided to self destruct after hitting a
pothole, I quickly attempted to get some new wheels quickly. That was hard,
and stock wheels darn near cost as much as aftermarket..

I got lucky, one of my venders was alble to send me overnight a brand new
set of Carrrizzioia wheels. And they are my favorite color, white..

Had the wheels put on tonight.. Did a two block test ride,and everything
seems ok.. Going to pack it up and off to Summit Point Shannadoah on the 26,
for race practice, and hopefully a race. This Shannadoah track has jersey
walls.

IMO, even though I was forced to get new wheels, the bike looks way better
with white wheels.

Not yet, but I am betting it was with the powder coating.. I think it wasn't
done right, and weaken the wheel. Going to send these wheels back to Honda,
and see what they say..

With which org. are you racing? If you are running superstock classes
make sure that aftermarket rims are legal.
