My 2006 VS1400/S83 aka The_Mistress
As delivered 21" RC Components Stingray
18 Rear Smoothie as delivered
Chrome stripped (front) Paid a local shop to strip the chrome
Chrome Stripped (rear: note the pitting)
Since I was going to be laid off from work as the project was finished, I figured I would save myself the $800, quoted by the same shop that stripped the rims, to polish them, I did the polishing myself. Pretty pleased with how they turned out, especially after the local shop said I would never be able to do it
Polished Front
Polished Rear
I will admit, when the rims showed up, I thought I had "bitten \off more than I could chew" but 3 years after the original purchase, I am very happy with what I was able to accomplish
The_Mistress with her "new" rims installed
Rims came from Bronx Intruder: 21" RC Components Stingray & 18" rear is an RC Components Smoothie
I can list everything done to The_Mistress if anyone is interested
