Whats up.....first of all I would like to clear up a few things. Within the last year we have changed platers not necessarely because the old stuff was crap, but because we have made a deal with a plant that does better work, at only a small price increase. We offer a 1yr warrenty on our wheels against defects in the plating, not against overly abusive conditions, for example, bending wheels from pot holes or crashes will often crack the plating, missuse of chemicals, and or lack of maintanance. We have multiple sets of wheels for all of the popular sport bikes, so if there was a problem it could be taken care of quickly with no down time. As for hearing bad things about our work, if one person has a bad experiance, he tells 30 people, but if someone has a good experiance, he will only tell a few. We have been in this business for awile, and try our best to keep everyone happy. Thank you all for your time and teach and bri for backing us. Give us a call if anyone has any questions. 207-641-2610 Joe

whoops..that was supposed to be reply to the chrome rims thread, my bad.

SICK02R6

Do you guys polish rims too or just chrome plate them? I just want to do the outside circle, not the tri-star part on the inside. you know what i mean? If so what would it cost? it's a 2002 R6?
thanks Joe, and personally I've heard only great stuff about you guys' work up there so keep doin' what you're doin' cause it's working from my standpoint!

later

do it yourself....it's worth the 2hrs per wheel

aircraft remover, masking tape, and steel wool works wonders

SICK02R6

I've heard alot of people say they did it themselves. I would love to do the work on my own bike! I'm just weary about screwing it up. I'm not a retard, so I know I'm capable but is it possible to screw it up? Just didn't want to be chroming them to cover up my mess ups. So is it hard or what?

polishing rims are pretty easy, I did my old zx7 wheels years ago. Does K&W powder coat?

PrplHaz4

it's pretty easy....the only problem i had was where i masked off the lips, the line was a little rough (very little)...not noticable unless you were about a foot away...other than that, they came out great...polished up to a mirror shine...only cost like $20...

and for finishing, use mother's aluminum polish talk about shiny! almost chrome....

h2orat

its not worth polishing the lips dont waist your time

PrplHaz4

yea it is.....polished lips look sick on any bike, and are a lot more cost effective than chrome....all ya gotta do is buff them once in a while

ftrain

I di dmy TL lat year and you ad to keep up on it weekly. Not worth the time. Chrome it.....

chrisdte

chrome it!!!

or polish it and then clear coat it: doesnt look as good, but it is easier to take care of...if you just polish you will spend more time cleaning than riding....besides rain and dirt, brake dust will dull the shine almost everytime you ride.


if it aint on chrome leave it at home.....woops, thats not me....

get chrome and beat the **** out of it!

I don't mind my rims being black. It matches just fine. I can't justify putting 650 into the same rims just a different color. I'd rather put that 650 into something else.
