polished borbets

[verde]

This weekend I discovered my favourite thing in the world....a drill with a buffing/wire disk on it. So far its only seen bmx parts but then I looked at my wheels which are not bad nick but the standard silver finish has gone a bit. Has anyone polished their borbets and can they share pictures. Im swithering...

I think two of them are chromed in that thread which looks shit. I've seen polished ones with flatcaps before and thought they looked good. Alot of upkeep though!

Il polish up the lip and see how it goes. The chrome really is foul. Only chrome on e30s should be bbs

[verde]

[BATTS91]

yeah boss deep dish ftw , you could allways go with no caps and new shiny bolts they cost about 20£ or get a local machinist shop to make flat caps ;)
