Has anyone ever stripped the paint off and polished Ellipsoid wheels? Anyone happen to have a damaged Ellipsoid wheel laying around they would be willing to part with for the purpose of experimentation? :wink: I think there might be potential for that alternative look. :roll:
Do you know if they are aluminum? Magnesium? I've done several motorcycle wheels in the past and the results were pretty impressive. It is a multi step process (labor of love kind of thing)to get them looking beautiful but IMHO worth the time. If I could get a hold of a damaged wheel I'd like to give it a try to see if it was a waste of time, or not. You could then prop it up next to the Z to see if it would be a look worth pursuing. I know I like the Ellipsoids on the Z, I'm just not sure "polished Ellipsoids" would be an improvement.
I think I'll put a note on the "buy, sell" list to see what I can come up with. The problem with a polished wheel is it doesn't hold up well through a winter season, but I store mine and for the most part it doesn't even see much rain. There are also products like "ZOOP" that claim to protect polished wheels. I have no experience with that product but I would surely give it a try.
