Alright so I've been around all over trying to find a match for the wheel paint on my 05 1150R. I also have an 06 K1200R, the wheels look the same color and I've had no luck finding a reliable answer. I tried the Würth silver wheel paint like some did and while the paint flowed nice and the end result was good, it was noticeably brighter. Didn't like it. One guy even used hi-temp barbecue paint on his K bike. Not going there. The wheel was from a Rockster so that orange wasn't going to work.
So I decided to go with a little Mom and Pop powder coating place. It's a pretty dang close match I have to say. He put a clear coat on it and the finish is a touch glossier but that's okay with me. I'll have the front done up the same next tire change. I tried to get the best picture and while the coated wheel looks a little brighter its just the way the pic came out.
I hope this helps somebody because getting an answer was a long and drawn out process for me. BMW 6525 from Prismatic Powders is what was used.
