12-inch

Rear wheel goes on! The rim could not be re-plated in time, so it was powder coated in chrome. You'd have to be looking really close to notice.

Chrome plating takes forever and the cost is astronomical. I hate to compromise, but chrome powder coating is a pretty decent option cost just $80.00 for the pair. The hubs were zinc plated, but the plating was bad, so after media blasting, they were painted and clear coated. With new spokes...

This was the better of two wheels that I found on-line in poor, but restorable condition. re-plating was the plan, but I had to ditch that plan because of cost, quality and timing.

Still looking for some nice Roadster 2 12-inch wheels (24 spoke preferred, but 28 is OK too). The rest of the bike is on track to be in show quality form over the next few months, but wheels...that's one of two main problems (the other is the headlight bucket/bezel). Any help is appreciated...
