Default Two wheel questions

Two questions I’d appreciate your collective knowledge on. First, I bought my Z one year old, and the original owner had equipped these wheels which I love. I don’t believe this is a stock option but maybe I’m wrong. Can anyone point me to what type of wheels these are just for my general info?

Second, the other three wheels are perfect but this one has slightl paint chips on the outer perimeter up near the top in this picture as you can see. I was contemplating obtaining some flat black touch up paint as a point-fix, but am wondering if there are any other recommendations out there.

Appreicate the thoughts !

Thanks for the response. I think you’re thinking they are the same as the stock grand sport wheels but they aren’t. The grand sport spokes flare out with some curvature toward the outer rim. Mine are different.

Yup - I have the same set of Cray Spiders. They may or may not be plastidipped. Cray offers these in a black eggshell type finish. I'd just use a little touch up paint and call it a day.

That’s what I was thinking.
