Title: Spokes - Stainless Steel v Chrome?
Post by: MartyC on September 01, 2007, 11:24 PM: I need to build a set of o/s wheels and am not sure whether to search out a set of chrome spokes or just go for some stainless steel ones. What do you guys reckon? Stainless steel ones seem to be readily available but I can't remember the last time I saw some chrome ones for sale (must be 1985 at least :LolLolLolLol:).
