Default Chrome Rear Wheel Disks

I’m a chrome junkie. Been thinking of adding the chrome disks to my rear wheels on my FW. Are they a problem to keep clean and shiny? TY

If they are the same ones I have, I think they are highly polished stainless steel. Only have about 2K miles on mine but they seem to clean up easily.

I have had them on two different Triglides (moved them from one to the other). They are highly polished stainless steel and are easy to keep clean.

I have the stock wheels on my TG and have given up on keeping them clean. Brake residue coats them and few cleaners truly clean them and since they will be filthy again, in 10 miles, I decided "what's the use?".

That's what the disks are all about. Not only looks but keeping the brake dust and that crap off the outside of your wheels. This is what they're talking about:

Note that he's closed right now so the store looks empty. Scheduled to open back up August 2nd.

Here's a good picture:

the photos at the site don't make sense. I can't look through my spokes and see the other side like that!!

Before posting this, I just went out and looked. Those are photoshopped images.

Lol no they're not, I have a pair. You're not looking through the wheel, you're looking at a highly polished stainless steel disk reflecting the pavement next to the wheel!
