You can special order red anodized rims from OZ--but it is very difficult to keep red anodize looking red as it fades...usually to something that looks like pink.

Painting is a much more durable finish and more accurate shade as well.

A friend of mine bought a pair of red carozzeria wheels 3 years ago for her 848.
They still look like the day she bought them and have not faded at all.
They look a hell of a lot better than a pair of powder coated red wheels would

I had red caros on mine. Had them only for 6 odd months before I sold the bike so can't comment on the durability. My friend has gold ones on his R1 and they still look brand new. But he doesn't ride the bike much.

Are you putting these on a red bike? IMO the red caro wheels on red SF looks too pimp. I ended up painting both the fenders matt black with a red stripe running through the centre.
