Wheels

AndyD:
Seen a few threads on rebuilding wheels and think I might have a go as well.
I wondered what people do for the hubs - i.e. polish, paint, vapour blast or something else to get a good standard-ish finish that's reasonably durable?

Cheers,
Andy

Johnny4428:
I do mine with scotchbrite buffing wheel.

AndyD:
Wheels apart and hubs off to be blasted.
Looking at new rims and spokes - do people go for / recommend the DSS ones (they do a 'kit' of rims and spokes etc) or are there better options out there?
Not worried about total originality as I believe the replacement DID ones look different anyway.
Cheers,
Andy

Nurse Julie:
We use the non genuine DID rims from Silver (identical to the genuine ones he sells but don't come in Honda brown paper 🙄🙄) and stainless spokes from Central Wheel Components.

AndyD:
Thanks Julie,
Sorry but a couple more questions - never done any wheels before so a bit unsure what to order - that's why i thought maybe the 'kit' was a good idea as I guess at least it should include everything and match up etc.
Are the rims you mention the ones shown as Takasago in the description?
Are the spokes not stainless from DS or is there another reason to order tjem separately?
Cheers,
Andy
