Would you polish your rims ???

[MonkeyHanger]

Got my polished rims back today from Exeter. the rear wheel is perfect, front not great but may be OK. I'm going to get my old Michelins fitted in the morning (its 2am here in UK) to see if I like the look.

looks good MH, ya know ya could've got me to do them fer ya. I could use the extra $$$ right now! Actually, I'm tired of polishing, I've done quite a few sportbike frames and swingarms. It's alot of work, but decent side money. :-D

I like the look of polished rims. Here's a pic of mine.

REALLY, I have been wanting my rims done . OK how much .

Doesn't it take a lot of maintenance to keep them looking good once they're polished? I'd be interested in hearing whether a simple wipe down when cleaning keeps them looking as fine as they do now.

polished will never look as good as the day it was first polished .

oxidation "rust" is a mother ,

aluminum oxide is which is what forms is crystal clear in its pure form ,
but it always forms with enough contaminents to give that milky look.

but you can always take em off every winter and have them brightened up .

Hey MH, did they polish your spokes or just not take the paint off them? I can't tell from your pic.

When I first read the topic, first thing I thought was "Hell No" But those look great, I like the two tone.

So, where in the states would ya go to have that done?Are'nt they powder-coated from the factory? Is the powder coating difficult to remove befor polishing.?

Just answer the ***** question. :-D
