There used to be a TL that lived in Spreydon that was fully customised that had colour matched wheels with the outer edges polished that looked real smart (though it was the BRG colour).
The final choice is yours what you do as you only have one person that you have to keep happy
Slapper?
cheers for that,another idea is to send those oem rims away to be polished and buy a second hand set of gsxr/hayabusa rims in black as they go straight on...(certain years)

You could also ring Glen at "Street and Sport" ph3662201 he's just had his wheels on his 675 done so he could put you onto whoever did his
Andrew used to use a guy over in Maldon street for a lot of his polishing and he has since sold up,I've had a few things done there since it was sold and the job has been ok, but not as good as the previous ownerOriginally Posted by T.W.R

I've found Abel metal polishers work is pretty good, but takes forever

I powder coated the rims on my last bike black, cost me about $70 per wheel and you have to completely strip them out eg tyre, bearings, seals etc. Nice look on a cruiser. I will probably spray paint my current bike's rims black to get the same effect for less effort/cost/buggering around.
For whom the bell tolls
go polish/chrome. Seen it on a TL like yours and it looked wicked. Preferably go chrome unless you only ride on dry days and enjoy taking your wheels apart to tidy them up every couple of weeks.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Get em polished! My ZX9R's got polished rims - looks great and easier to keep clean for some reason.
Gotta have bling!
