I had an idea. I really like the look of the old school etched TTII's. I don't want to shell out the money to powdercoat right now, and i don't want to rattle can a good set of wheels (not that I can't, i did my 10 spokes and they were descent just chipped easily). I was thinking about masking off and wet sanding the spokes of my TTII's with 320 grit. It would look similar just not as dark. I'd keep the lip highly polished. I searched and found out this is basically what CCW does on their brushed finish wheels. Anybody try this before? Or do u guys just think it would look like badly unpolished wheels.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

Um, just do one spoke on one wheel and then take a pic so we can judge better
. I think it could look pretty sweet, but you would have to be a little brave to try...unless you could find someone with a wrecked wheel to do a science experiment.
