Does anyone know what the stock white wheels would look like if i took the white paint off of them?

I really don't mind the white but i would rather have a silver brushed aluminum look if i could. And the White is so hard to keep clean.

Anyone ever brushed off the paint? Any pictures would be great too.

If you strip the powder coating it would be aluminum finish.

It would be aluminum, however the spokes and center of the rim would be a nice rough cast. The lips are machined and have a nice little tool mark in them

Not to mention the corrosion

Sounds like i won't screw with them then! Just take the extra time to clean them!

If you think white rims are hard to keep clean, try up-keep on a polished aluminum finish! You'll wish you had white rims.

Btw, for white rims, WD-40 is your friend.

i got some white rims now :-) powder coated em myself since its powder coat u can use paint thinner too shit whipes off so easly its effortless i usualy put the bike on the stands and just put it in gear and let the rear wheel spin to clean the sides and then do the spokes by hand
