Polished up a pair of 28 spoke deep vs for the last track season. Lent them to a bloke who crashed them fairly mildly in a pointscore and they didnt even need truing. Stiff as a board.Only problem with polishing them is that fingerprints show up on them REALLY easily. Look really good under lights or in bright sun cause they flash when ur out of the seat and make a decent reflection on the track. Look better than shamals. Picture that should be included has them in the bike.
