Starbuck Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 As above..... Despite the fact they look ok, water has got under the laquer in places and corroded the rim and faces in places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pick1 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Polished if they have slight defects will look Mint 😃 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yeah. The problem with the original diamond cut is that they are very prone to white mist/worming where water gets under the laquer and corrodes it. This has happened in places on mine and very noticableI don't really want to diamond cut mine again at a cost only for it to go again. If i have them polished then it will be easier to maintain.Thinking of maybe painting the face in silver and having the lip polished to be as close as original Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuck Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thats what I've now decided to do. Going for a bit of a light grey/graphite centre with a polished lip for a slight contrast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie1st Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I wouldn't polish them, hate polished lips unless they're an anodized colour like your red ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I hate polished wheels. Keep them as they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Too late. Gone in now. Can't afford to keep chucking money at them to diamond cut everytime the misting / worming happens under the laquer. Plus as that method takes a bit off everytime they are machined. Its cheaper for me to do this and not look too different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
