I have the red wheels with stainless spokes. I sure wish I had gone black spokes. My stainless pitted horribly after one trip to Florida. I spoke with Sam while at an event about this and he suggested Flitz. That was a joke, just made a mess with the Flitz. I ended up using a Scotch Brite pad on them. I don't mind the flat stainless look. As for the wheel construction and powder coating, no complaints.

I got my wheels from them. I actually talked to Sam yesterday about the little issue with my order. We're working on it and I'm more than confident that it will solve quickly. He sounds like a very professional man in my opinion.

I noticed there was some rusting on my stainless spokes. Called RW and they recommended using WD-40. So, I broke out a rag and used half of a can. Pain in the a$$!
Otherwise, it's worth all the complements!

IM glad i asked my ? because I was on the fence between the stainless and the black spokes. IM not even thinking about the stainlees ones anymore, I would go crazy if my spokes rusted .I thought stainless did not rust?And if it did they should replace them.
