I like it better this way. Did you powder coat the rear rim?

Slikdaddy,no not powder coated. It is an aluminum motomag BMX wheel....I bought it broken,cut all the webbing out,a lot of grinding,sanding,polishing.

How it looked when I bought:

I also have a rear motomag with no webbing that I have on my F1 build but no matter what I do I cant get it to polish out so I was thinking of powder coating it. Your mag looks great.

May be a different alloy perhaps.I don't know all the history specs of those wheels. I have a set I restored awhile back,and those I left sandblasted finish with clear coat sealed. I was fortunate with this one it turned out so bright.

Bike looks great. Love that mag. Perfect for a muscle bike with the webbing removed.

 

[Mr. Kool]

Wow!!! Killer idea!!!
I'm usually not an addict of mag wheels but you make me change my mind.
I love it!!!! Mag wheel and gripper slick is just a perfect combo.

Have a good time at the autorama.
