Hey there Busa666. went down this path a while back, and thought about polished wheels, but the thought of getting m y fingers and hands to bend into the wheels, disc, and around / under the front guard to keep them super shiney turned me away. I was hoping that the polished wheels could be clear coated, so that a suds would keep them bright would be good....but no, apparently this is a no no, as they will turn yellow !
I then made about 3,000 phone calls looking for somebody to chrome them for me, and only found 1 place in Melbourne that can do them, and was quoted $2,000 + or Nicle shine for about the same money so I tried fleabay U.S.A (the place where you can buy anything !), and they seem to have tonnes, but they were all on an exchange basis....bugger, wrong country !
I thought about just doing the outer lips, which I did myself on my old TLR, but nahhh. In the end, they just got a fresh coat of gloss black, and I thought.....thatldo.
Best of luck mate, but keep us posted if you find anything, cause I still reckon some nice bling wheels would look scmicko with my freshly polished swing arm (thats another story on its own !), and the 7 coats of super gloss black fairings
