"Cast wheels are ugly" is such an offensive statement!
It is...it is... Let me apologize. They are the most practical/functional. I like when holes are drilled, painted and then chamfered. This looks awesome."Cast wheels are ugly" is such an offensive statement!
I didn't mean to offend anyone. I didn't say that people who have cast wheels are ugly. I have bikes with ugly cast wheels, and I'm not ugly.

This thread was discussing the expense and labor of making old spoke wheels look nicer, so........THESE ARE NOT NEW SPOKES. Remember those Paint-By-Number sets? The rim is polished. The spokes are degreased, steel wooled, wiped with acetone, tack clothed, brushed with Rust Reformer, and finally painted with two coats of spray paint applied with a brush. I'm a happy guy.
