Skyway Graphite's

Hi Guys , just picked up a redline and the wheels below were on it. The question i have is this , the front wheel has graphite stamped on both sides of the hubs and the rear has skyway on both sides , its looks like they have had something done to both wheels as they are bolted and not riveted and i wonder if the guy who did it should have put one of each on each wheel (ie a skyway hub and a graphite one) . As i have no knowledge of skyways let alone graphite ones.I would really appreciate your help on this on chaps. I don't even know if they are graphite  ???

I'm no expert on Tuffs, but it looks like he's retro fitted the Graphite hubs onto normal black Tuff II's.

They don't look like graphites to me??

DR VINOAH:
tis my train of thought as well

graffy OS tuffs have gold coloured hubs

etc.......

pickle:
well if you look closely they do have whats left of some gold anno on them......around the bearings, but with the nuts and bolts they've obvioulsy been retro fitted.........and i'm sure old Graphites had the word Graphite written on them.

Bob_Acid:
Is there any gold in the stamps on the rims?
