Congrats on the pickup!! Stay safe soldier!! I've stated before that dust sticks to my NBP like a Swiffer which is a real pain in the ass, but when it's clean, WOW does it ever look good!!

i dont think they are diff colors they are different batches of wheels ... because the part number is the same regardless of what the color of the wheel is

Trackstar hit me up sometimes, i love doing track days, i used to have a 05GSXR600 that i used only for track days, but i low sided and ended up parting it out. now i just have my GSXR1000 that i take to the track sometimes, it is not as friendly as the 6 by any means! Thanks again everyone for the comments and support!

Sorry to keep going with this...but all this bike talks got me excited lol. Ive been riding my 06 GSXR 600 since i bought her brand new. Shes been all up and down the east coast! I just started getting into the track riding last year or two. Still in the process of getting all my gear together(expensive hobbies) But she is still streetable and I got some great road out here. btw nothing beats the TL/GSXR combo...what more could you want rite?

Yeah, for me the most expensive part of riding on the track was the gear and of course tires... i know out in arizona theres a place called cycle gear that had some great deals on gear, i believe they have locations in other states. i hear theres some awesome places to ride on the road on the east coast!!! but yeah the GSXR/TL combo is niiice cant wait to get some pics of them together!

Welcome and congrats on the purchase

I've heard that the 08 had a darker wheel color, but that could have been lies

Check out Ebay or the blackmarket section here for spacers with 64.1mm hub bore size. Check out H&R and Ichiba spacers! 10mm or larger I would recommend extended lugs. Ichiba V2 has the extended lugs pressed into the spacer!
