Looks good, i was thinking of getting the outers polished and the inners and hub powder coated but don't know how well the burning copper metalic would look in a powder coat. Always looks good to have matching wheels and it is cheaper than chrome.

and it weighs so much less than chrome, that shiat is heavy, i really started to get down and dirty on polishing the outter now. stated with 800 wet and will end up at 2000 wet by the weekend

I did that on my ZX12...never again.... once they get spotted from water stains or wheel cleaner....it really hard to clean again. A lot of maintenance.

I like it. I've always done this to all of my bikes. I have chrome wheels on the busa now...only because I came across a good deal.

On My 1100 everyting is polished, And ill never go back to it. It looks great till it gets wet no matter what you do to it!!!!!

I have done this to all of my bikes as well. I learned after the first one like DevilDog said it is a pain in the butt. Now when I do it, I strip the wheels and polish them without sanding. It still has a good shine to it with the little ridges, but the maintenance is much easier. It obviously doesnt shine like a sanded wheel but I am happy with the way they look. I will post some pics later.
