2000 R1 wheel colour

Post by mobil1 »

Does anyone know.

I have a 2000 R1 5jj and its got gold wheels. All the ones I've seen for sale and on the road have black.

My question is are they the original colour or are they because it may be an import?

Never seen an original one with gold wheels. My guess is that a previous owner had them re-painted.
Keep on keepin' on.
