Any one have any pictures of stock spoke wheels powder coated. I recently bought a set of spokes and thought about tearing them apart and having them powder coated. I have a couple of thing is mind, what do you think?

I know a lot of people dont like spokes because there hard to keep clean but I figured if there powdercoated then you can just hose off, dry and go. I think the all black or the black hub and rim with chromed spokes would look great on a bagger with big white walls. Any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks

I vote none of the above. I would powder the spokes and inside of the hub where you cant clean. Leave the rim and outer part of the hub chrome/polished.

do the rim and hub in black and the spokes in red. kinda old school bobber looking, but very cool!

Chrome

Do the hub and spokes in Black Chrome and the Rim in regular Chrome.

The Black chrome will be a lot more durable than powder coat unless you live near a salt water area. Spokes flex a small amount near the mounting holes and could flake the powdercoat off.

I PM'd "Big-X", he'll be along shortly. I convinced him to do his spoke wheels in gloss black PC, and man that's one COOL looking VTX..... 8)

Here are the best two photos I have of them. I didn't take mine apart, just coated them, over a year and they look like new. They still need attention, I detail them every other week or so, but just hosing them off will not be a solution for long.
