I have a stock 1996 sp with Magtek rims, is it just me, but my rear Magtek is done in a smooth finish, but the front has rough ( bumpy spoke legs) finish, is this normal? also I noticed on other bike that their are done in a smooth finish ( see link) how is that done?
Same in my bike. Front wheel has a rough finish, rear one seems smoother, but a little rough also. Be careful with the primer, you must use an epoxy primer ( fosfatant ) before you apply the color, otherwise bubbles will appear under the paint with the time.
I think that, if it's a factory finish, why not to let them as is.
Check also the aligment of the rims, Magteks tends to bend a little with the use, bumps, years .... , and check the bearings too, probably you'll need to replace them ( and also the seals )
My Winner's One had the same finish on the front wheel.
Both wheels were filthy from being in storage for so long...the rear wheel was very easy to clean but the front spokes were a real pain as the dirt became engrained in the rough finish.
