I paid about 90 per wheel to powdercoat them yellow with a silver base so you get the flake that the 1000rr have. here is a pic it is not mine but it almost dead on. the last pic was mine when i was installing them hope this helps you decision. i love it and i got mydone with only had 6 miles on the bike.

Did you polish the lip yourself? I was looking at the same thing but in red. Can you get your wheels coated then get someone to polish the lip?
