Hey guys, I bought a set of black wheels off an 08 model. I heard a while back that all Buell wheels, 03 to current are silver with a polished lip under the powder coating.... ( like the original 03 wheels) Can anyone confirm this? I'd like to get the polished lip on the black wheels to show up. Thanks!!! -Robert www.xblights.com |

I thought that you could polish the lip on any of the XB wheels. I don't think that it comes polished and painted, but what do I know. |

i think it's just the casting of the rim. the lip is smooth, but the inner part and spokes are casted rough. brian |

once you strip the powder. you should be able to polish up the lip easy. |

Any Idea how to strip the powder off just the lip? |

I think that's going to be a problem. You'll end up with a ratty edge on the paint/clearcoat. I'd suggest that if you are planning to polish the lip, go ahead and have the wheels powercoated. You'll end up with a better edge and the powder coat will be more durable. |

I was hoping to be able to polish the lip on an already powder coated black wheel...... I'll have to talk it over with my powder coater. Thanks guys |

If you got to repowder coat, talk to grandstand designs. Another badwebber had his wheels done in black and with a polished lip, it looks great. |
