They're all painted, either silver or black.  Take a closer look...

I'm not sure I agree that they're "painted", but I freely admit that I don't know and didn't take a closer look because I don't actually care.   ::)  However, if they are, please allow me to rephrase (though I'm sure you knew exactly what I meant); I don't like the wheels painted the same color as the bike.  I choose to phrase it that way because I've seen pics of a couple I liked with wheels that were painted (possibly powder coated) a different color than the bike but they didn't come from Kawasaki that way .  I included powder coat because I wouldn't want you to have to spank me again (unless, of course, you're a hot 18 year old Asian girl who's into that :D).

They are definitely painted or have a silver powdercoat.  I saw it all sandblasted off before I had mine powdercoated black.

Hey guys,

I've gotten WAY more interest than I ever thought this would generate.  I'm not going to remove the rims, ship anything, or anything like that.  I'm also not going to spend a couple days riding somewhere just to do this swap.  I've got a pretty tight work schedule and I'm in the middle of a home renovation.  I was hoping to find someone near me who would be willing to meet at a local dealer and do the swap and split the cost.  No hassle.  If I can't find that, then I'll live with the black rims.

I appreciate all the offers.

Looks like TahoeC14 would be a great option then.

Thats what I was willing to do... Ride out there from AZ cause I love to ride :) and then meet at Dealer and do the swap...  Do you have price on the swap from the dealer?

If I wasn't sidelined until sometime in Dec. I could probably be persuaded to ride my 2011 (with very low mileage) to Vegas, do the swap, maybe hit the tables, catch a show, and partake in some adult beverages. Wow that could be one expensive set of black rims.
