Hi everyone
I am to repaint the rims from black to white so to match the new color of the white/blue scheme of the K7 model
Anyone knows the RAL of the original Suzuki white rims?
Thank you very much

I am very sorry
Thanks a lot
No problem mate, all good.
White wheels are really nice on a clean bike - but keeping them clean in a total pain in the arse

The paint code of the white rims from the K2 - K4 is 28W Special White - however it is unlikely you will find that paint anywhere, Suzuki no longer supply it.
The nearest match I found as a colour was Ford Fiesta Frozen White
My K2 came new with white wheels and whilst they do take some work to keep REALLY clean, I wouldn't change them.
Having said that I did like the purple/blue ones on Limited Edition bikes. :onya:
My K2 has them too and as GSXKING says they need to be cared for to keep them clean especially the back one. As long as you have the centre stand though it's easy enough. Wouldn't change mine either😍
I clean mine when they are the same colour as the tyres, does that count?

That you clean them Andy is a bonus :rofl2:
Low sling chain lube, a can of Gunk and a small paintbrush easily helps keep my K3`s white wheels WHITE :onya: The white wheels set the big Suzy apart from the crowd, always attracts positive comment and I wouldn`t have them any other colour.
I reckon the black wheels on later models give the bike a `heavy` look, which is probably why they`re not as fast :stir:
DP. Black Wheels Matter. Sorry Mate, just had to say that.

All wheels matter, as long as they're connected to a GSX1400
