Nice job I can tell you put alot of effort on them.I never thought of polishing my hubs.I dont have that much time on my hands.

Ha hahaa ill take that as a compliment, thanks luckyEight

you should create new build thread

 

[N8Bishop]

WOW! Nice work. Soon I don't think we'll be able to directly look at your bike....

 

[Rusty]

That looks super tedious. I dig it.

 

[Greasey Fingers]

Thanks guys, I have to admit....this time I had them polished. I know I cheated but hey, by the time you do it yourself it is actually worth to pay someone else to do it because you save so much time. And you get better results. But I do enjoy the feeling of satisfaction when you polish stuff yourself.

Luckyeight I will start a build thread, im nearly there just wanna get my bike registered and roadworthied before I start modding it out too much.

Scorps I know what you mean, these would takes AGES by hand. And you do really need to have them completely disassembled to do it properly so it really is a big job if you were to take your wheels off and do it. Because I got just the hubs (from my good friend volcomskater) it would have been silly not to do before spoking them up.

Just polishing my engine has been very time consuming,but I have been doing it all by hand no power buffer.It doesnt look as shiny as your hubs but compared to how it looked its much better..I havent had much time lately to do much on my bike.

Thanks mate! Nice find on the rim but ill stick with standard 18" for now I like the rubber, im definatly going that way I think with the old school looking rubber.

[xschris]

Looks good Now the trick is keeping them that way and still being able to drive the bike

 

[Greasey Fingers]

Thanks guys! Yeah im lovin these wheels Ha ha lol, nice picture pork chop (eewwwww). Should be easy to keep the rims and spokes clean chris, theyre chromed but yeah the hub will lose its shine over time im sure.

Don't know if you know about it but there is a product called ACF50. It's an aluminum protectant/preservative developed for the aircraft industry. It's cheap, and will keep that finish pristine for a long time after all the work put into making them shiny.
