This is a stock rim on an 03 deuce. Does that mean it is polished aluminum? S100 didn't touch it. How about never dull?

Thanks
Dave

It should be aluminum. Never dull works but it would take forever.Buy one of these from your local parts store. Fits on the end of a drill.Makes life alot easyer if you can lift the rear wheel off the ground.
