Any reason why I would not take a set of s-lites have them sandblasted and powder coated to the color I prefer ? Assuming the rims are true. I just see alot of s-lites for sale with varying degrees of mild road rash that look as they could be rehabed .

I have done this with my streetrods for many years. Is there any difference?

 

I'll sell you mine if you're interested.

 

Other than the fact that they weigh 25lbs, no. Depending on location, you can likely get a set of aftermarket rims for the price of the slites + labor. Then again, I live in CA, and our labor rates are ridiculous.
