I picked these wheels up off craigslist for $200. They were pretty curbed up, so took some time this weekend sanding down the damage and put down a few coats of primer.

Haven't decided yet what color to paint them. I'm thinking gold/bronze.

Went ahead and painted the wheels, and applied a matte clearcoat.
I'm happy with the results.
I had ordered a set of Honda center caps from eBay for $20, that I also painted. They even came with Honda logo valvestems :cool:

Looks sweet! Those were BMW wheels from an older M3, right?

Finally got around to getting this test fitted on the CTR. They certainly clear the brake calipers, which was my only worry with these.

Am getting tires mounted next Saturday. Pics to come.

Mounted, and quite happy with how they look. Even my wife has changed her opinion on the wheels.
Not too shabby for $200cdn wheels off Craigslist. But man oh man, you can really feel the difference in grip vs the stock tires. My only regret is not having broken the car in before swapping to my winters.
But on the plus side, the ride is super smooth comfortable, don't feel every single bump in the road.
