Just wondering, what you guys think…Is it better to have your rim painted or polished…?

Painted is better. Polishing and repolishing is a bitch. They are lighter though...

funny, that's what I've been getting from around...most people would get their rim painted rather than polished....hmmm

Polishing.....been there. They look amazing until you actually want to ride the bike. I loved the look but I'll never do it again. I'd sooner powder coat them any color or chrome.

is this a perv question?

[slam]

just look who posted the Q..... :laughing

I'ld choose to have/get my rim polished, however, I had my wheels painted :coffee

 

[rubberhead]

Paint. You'd have to clean your polished wheels after each ride. Paint looks better anyway.

If you're taking them off and having them done anyway, spend the extra and have them powdercoated. The coating will be more durable.

I had mine powdercoated at Rainbow Powder Coating. Damn great service, awesome job done and freaken unbelievable reasonable price! cheaper than painting, too! PM me if you want to know more detail and pictures of my rims

I gether these are the guys that got 'satisfied' with the service performed

 

[Tystixxx]

i wax mine:eek

 

[Frapps]

i actually rust mine becuase then they can't get any worse so i don't have to worry about them...until they fall apart, hopefully not while riding

 

[slowzuki]

So far it seems most people like to have their rim's painted...some waxed, and very few polished...hmmm, interesting. I dunno, I gotta decide soon on what I'm gonna do. My wife said she'd help me polish and/or wax mine, but didn't know about the painting thing...

I'm surprised Jayson (Lowlife) hasn't posted on this one. He hand polished his rims for ....get this.... 80 hours! They look like mirrors. Would he do it again? Maybe with a gun to his head.

Was he polishing while his cousin did the sweet custom paint job? that looked like an 80 hr job.

I'd say that is your best value but I hope that she doesn't waste time on your bike but is she refering to your rim or pipe?

I just ride them after the puchase is done.
