website for rims
I am selling my 2019 F3 base model to my best friends wife and just purchased a 2017 F3 limited yesterday. Short version of the story, my wife wants to ride with me now. My friends wife wanted to get a F3 after taking mine for a ride a few times. Win win for both of us and I still get to ride 2019 every once in awhile, if I like.
Anyways, the new F3 limited I purchased has Chrome rims, which I am not a big fan of. I got a really good deal on the bike and it only has 3300 miles on it. So I am looking for suggestions on black out rims. I looked at sling mods for rims, is there any other site for Can Am Spyder rims? I have tried searching but I keep getting car rims sites. Would like suggestions on sites and/or what kind of aftermarket rims you may have bought?

Thank you! I will check out the site. I didn't realizes you could paint chrome rims. I am going to look into that because I do like the design of the chrome rims and think they would look cool blacked out

Painting CHROME is tricky .... Adhesion of paint to chrome is the issue .... also paint, even epoxy is softer ... consult an Auto Paint specialist or consider powder coating ..... good luck ... let us know how this turns out ..... Mike

Again, I want to thank everyone, this has gone in a different direction than what I was originally thinking, so, Thank you!
I spoke with the powder coating company and he suggested doing the chrome(nose, side chrome and wheels) in a burgundy metallic which I like. The question I have, do you know if the chrome nose can come off in the grill? My bike is in the process of being shipped so I can not look at it to see if it can come off.
