Mine were starting to show a little. The only way that I know is to keep them clean and polished.

I think that I will try some S100 on them and polish them with Luster Lace.

The last time i cleaneed and polished my Spokes it took about an hour and a half. I used Mothers polish cream in a bottle.

I want some nice mags but it is hard to beat the looks of the spokesonly thing is that cleaning them sucks.

That is definitly the problem......My problem too.

Where do you live at in South East Louisiana? You may not be too far from where I live. PM me and let me know, we may be able to get together sometimes and head out for a ride.

Cleaning Spokes, There was a product call classic cloth, it's one of the few thing that i have seen clean spokes, Custom chome used to carry it, I know there is a HDdealer in Valley Forge, PA that carriesit.

Your spokes are cad plated, There for a little a moisture, & brake dust, & time will make them turn
Salt will also play a factor.

I have used this for my oe wheels, a little elbow grease, and you can get them clean.
After the application the best way to fight it is to clean you wheels once a month or more with soap and water.

Good Luck

Yeah, they can go quite quickly if left alone.

You can always get them re-laced with stainless spokes.

Alternativly try coating the spokes with ACF50 after you've cleaned them. This helps to stop them rusting.
