Default Are these rims gold or what?
I like the color of the rims on this bike but cant really tell if it is gold or a bronze or what it is. Does anyone happen to know what it might be called?

It is a European 1000RR. I have also seen pics of the yellow on blue 1000rr with the same rims on it here in Am but I cant find that pic now.

The rims and fork tubes are slightly different color. I'd say the rims were flat gold painted...not real gold, but like the same stuff you could buy at a paint store. Possibly even powdercoated.

The color is bronze. I have always like that color wheel on a white tunner car. That bike is F**king sweet!

Damned Europeans get the sick looking tri-color scheme. [:@] I would buy that color in a heartbeat if it were available here in the states.
