Diamond cut or polish wheels

[TalkToFrank]

2 questions...

1) could a set of 17" motorcycle wheels be Diamond cut as apposed to polished?

2) who does either of those for a reasonable price

3) is it worth it?

4) am I good at counting?

Neither, imo. Both will not last in this country and will be a pain to keep.
Polished alloys on here, a27 engineering, corba load of options. I'm sure others will drop along soon but I'd just get a colour and save the hassle.

I was contemplating red spokes (only 3) and polishing the lip part, bike won't really get used much and would be kept in a dry garage... They still a heure to keep even with little use?

 

[Eddies]

Depends how well you keep them. If a stone or anything breaks the clear coat that's water, road salt etc in so they're on the way from that. Should have most the answers in this thread.

Anyone doing wheel refurbs at the minute?

Preferably with collection from newtownabbey

Looking at how well the shadow chrome came out in some of those pics I might risk having the lip big done that colour and the spokey bits done red, might look a bit gaff in which case I'll go back to black.

E) Any red on the wheels would look absolutely awful.

You're wrong! Ha!

@G N K do you not think this would look good if the black strip was polished or even shadow chrome?

 

[G N K]

No

Gold/bronze?

Gold would look smart.
