Default Just installed new Alpha Racing Wheels

I just received my Alpha Racing wheels Friday. I ordered them in metallic silver powder coat and I ordered the street legal kit which includes all 3 rotors, 2 ABS rings and sprocket. Beautiful wheels, PVM makes them for Alpha. Lighter also, 4.8lbs rear/2.6 lbs front

Got any close up photo's.

Can you tell me how much they cost (pm if you want) and do they powder coat any color you want or is there a choice?

Here is a close up from their website



I will take close up pictures of mine later, $2900 with everything included to my front door. Standard colors are anodized blue and gloss black, but they said they can do just about any color, it just takes longer for the special order. It took about 3 months for me to get the special request.

I'm mostly a street rider, but I did do my first track day on Thursday at Infineon. It was awesome! I now know how slow I am even though I am riding a fast bike. All the Pro's were rolling in for the races this weekend as we left.

Well might be slow but as long as you enjoy that the principle.!! Everybody is slow at the beginning then slightly faster and faster and faster... So with the bike you have I am sure it will come )
