Pattern part rims from DSS

What's the chrome like Bodd? Not bothered about authenticity too much as the exhaust will be a Mivv system. Plus I've got £135 credit to spend at dss.😆

The chrome is fine, so is the quality of the wheel, when I built them there were no blemishes, no sharp or rough edges and unlike mentioned in the David Silver quote I didn't have to ream any of the holes for the spoke studs.

What DS prtobably means is that they are drilled for a disc front hub and if you use on a drum brake like CB250/350k then the hole drilling angle is different. Devon rims also make nice quality rims for Jap bikes and they will drill the holes to suit the hub. About the same prices as the DID ones from DS or a rechrome. They would probably miss the Made in England logo off if you asked as they manufacture. They also do highly polished stainless. I saw a CB250K0 on eBay once with them on and they looked nice.

Had a price off Devon at the Staffordshire show. £580 for both wheels supplying rims and spokes plus build. Too rich for me.

At Stafford show the Devon Rims were 110 each though Roy and TBF they were cracking good quality. My DID original style re-chromes cost 110 each by coincidence. In addition, just won two auctioned NOS but rechromed due to 'shelf rash' original DID rims (one disc one drum pattern holes, both 1.60 x 18") last week off eBay UK for 100 GBP each. One of the only items I have bought for bikes that was actually better than described off eBay UK, which can be a veritable minefield of absolute sh*te IMHO. The seller is getting me details of where they were re-chromed , when he's back from holiday.
