Anyone know these B&B wheels

Anyone know what these wheels are? I searched for B&B B9 wheels and nothing came up. I emailed the folks that posted the ad and got nothing. This is my color too.

Cool article!

Love this quote:

But driving fun is kind of like cocaine. You start by having a little and before you know it you need four or five lines to get going.
Those wheel look like the B9R:

After close inspection,
you can see that they are actually Fondmetal 9RR wheels:


Perhaps they may be easier to find instead of the B&B branded version?

You nailed it, that link showed the car from my pic. I'm getting close to either a wheel or just painting mine Dark Gray/pewter/Titanium etc.

Powder coating is the best option because it'd be more durable than paint if you go that direction.

This thread has some good pix:

Many professional shops out there doing that.

Or you can have a go at DIY if you have a place to cure the wheels for 10 mins @ 400 degrees,
this place sells aerosol cans of the stuff:
