Stainless needs a lot of cleaning and buffing to keep nice. Chrome DID is a lot less hassle and stay bright  for many years  ;)

MCTID:
The Chrome DID Rims I bought from DS were good value and good quality. My Wheelbuilder said they were as good as anything else for the money....and better than many others.

The only drawback is that they are stamped around the outside of the rim so not as original - if that's what you want.

CWC are OK but I have just had to replace a set of their Triple UK Chrome 'unused' Rims that were riddled with rust spots after 8 years storage in the loft......never been fitted to the bike....never seen rain or sunshine......never used - and still wrapped in bubble wrap waiting for a T120 rebuild (still waiting). They have been now replaced by CWC Stainless Rims at a cost of £350 !

Another 'lesson learned' I'm afraid.

If anyone wants NOS original DID rear for a 400/4, Cb350/4 or CB250/350K/G5 David Silver has some .. not cheap but neither is rechroming.

Laverda Dave:
That's not bad really Ash. As Alan mentioned in his earlier reply stainless rims are not cheap either. I had CWS rebuild my 400/4 front and back wheels with stainless rims and spokes, new Avon tyres and a hub polish at a special Stafford show price of £620!!!!!! I replaced all the bearings when I got them back.
I have since found a wheel builder 5 miles from home who respoked the 250RS wheels with stainless for £130.
