Black Spokes help
Black Spokes help
Hey everyone, I'm trying to help a friend find replacement black spokes for her stock deluxe wheels. Where would be the best place to check out?

Let them know the year and model so they get the right length. If they don't have Black available they can get them anodized or parkerized, depending on the look you are going for. Powdercoating probably isn't going to last too well if the spokes cross each other and touch.
Are you or your friend going to lace these? It seems like something that takes a lot of experience...

Jo PC'ing will work... Ty at Hi-Tech did my rims and you know I romp on them pretty hard... and so far not one problem with them.

It takes more patience than it does experience. It can get frustrating.

Coated spokes work fine. Ive had my Black Bike Wheels for several years and not a single chip where the spokes cross.
