[Ducati] New to me Wheels

Not sure where you are located, but if you check around you will find 
that having the wheels re-colored will be cheaper.

I had a set of alloy wheels powder-coated black and the cost was 
around $75 each, which included the cleanup and re-seal of the 
inside.    They looked better than new.  A set of Marchesini decals 
was $10 off Fleabay.  I bet you cannot find a set of 916 wheels that cheap.

Just make sure that your powder coater knows how to do aluminum or 
alum-magnesium powder coating (lower temp cure).  Regular temp cure 
will cook the metal and ruin the heat treat.
