ok so ive noticed that on all the 2000 gsr's that ive seen the stock rims are all polished and i was wondering if my rims are rare, or if i just got really lucky. OR did the previous owner do something? -thanks

You have the limited edition wheels. Similar to the ones on the S200 y0!

 

Can you post a different pic with more even lighting, w/o all the bright light from the flash?

 

but the cars not limited edition sooo do you think the dealer slapped those on the last owner??

 

ill do it tomorrow in the sun, the garage light is really orange looking (sorry)

 

from the looks of the center cap compared to the rim...looks like someone did a diy..not bad

 

there most likely spray painted man.... maybe powercoated though....nice rims though

 

brushed aluminum... it looks like they were compounded and buffed. The mirror chrome scratches easily so the guy probably had them buffed down.. They look good nonetheless.

 

definitely rule out a diy guys... they are way too perfect.
i think IntEGNYC has the right idea if it is indeed not factory...
Anyone want to verify what P1mpslap suggested??????

I'm calling DIY. If you look at the finish on the center cap, it doesn't match the rest of the wheel. It didn't come from the factory like that, IMO.

All the swirlies I've ever seen have looked chrome almost.

 

looks like one of my gunmetal rear wheels. thats what happens when the finish is stripped off when a wheel shop says they replaced your rims but the truth is its repaired

i bet if air craft paint remover is sprayed on the stock rims this yould be the end result.

Looks hot none the less.

 

they do look good. interested in selling by any chance??

 

they look nice.

 

that just looks like someone too a spray paint can to the rims, my friends have all done similar stuff to there rims. its easy stuff

 

looks like it was powercoated and whoever did it . did a good job.. nice wheels

 

Yah if it turns out Acura never had a rim like above it is a flawless job. They really look like they could have come from the factory. I guess there's no confirmation on P1mpslap's suggestion?????

i think he was being sarcastic yO!!

couldn't be, there's nothing on OEM GS-R blade wheels except clearcoat over the polished aluminum.

 

these were probably powdercoated.

The centercap appear to be chrome as in the original finish.
