correct ,i was very happy with how they turned out.they did coast me $300 to ceramic coat them
but never having to polish those wheels again is well worth it.

Try these for the ceramic coating Link There are loads more that do it and also do lots of other types of coating.

Did you get the ceramic coating done here on the coast? Im not a fan of polishing to start with and the wheels are just a pain in the arse. Where abouts do you ride locally cause i havent seen many others TBbirds around here

is that why he has booked the double room next to the vat at dent?

some say ...... that it is his blood and that his sweat can be used to clean precious metals.
others say ..... he has an altar at home that has a replenishing font and that he and mrs 1600 bathe in it on when its a full moon
all i can say is .... his choice of drink is far better than his choice of colours

Yeh mate im keen to meet up for a ride and to check your bike out (pick your brain). I had Forans send my exhaust to Pro Coat to get coated black and the top of both my header pipes are already deteriorating. Have spoken to them on the phone and will try and get there wednesday so they can have a look. They have only been on the bike for 2 months.
