I agree. I like the black on my Naked as well. But kinda like the classic looks of the polished too. I agree, more labor to keep them shiny.Black suits my naked, and shiny is just another thing to polish
This has got me thinking of going back to my black tank again.I think it depends on the rest of the bike. If it has a polished chassis pack and bright paint (silver, white, etc) then polished rims look best.
My bike has a black theme going on, so nothing would look better on mine than black rims.
Actually, on a Dommi naked I think satin alloy rims would look right. They could either be polished and then flattened with Scothbrite, or they could be anodised in satin silver. Anodising would, of course, be much more maintenance free.
Keeping polished alloy spoked rims in top condition is a real PITA IMHO, but then again I’m something of a lazy b***ard in that regard !
Black is the new black:

I just noticed you have black Öhlins. Damn that looks awesome on all black!I think it depends on the rest of the bike. If it has a polished chassis pack and bright paint (silver, white, etc) then polished rims look best.

By alloy you mean cast / forged wheels?The reflectors should be compulsorily removed as soon as the bike is collected!
IMHO, your Donnie naked would be best with satin alloy rims.
You can put black rims on if you like, but it still won’t look as sexy as mine !!

Lol.Absolutely not! Just satin alloy finish on your spoked alloy rims.
It would match the naked theme of the satin tank, bare frame, satin CF, etc.
Only IMHO of course. But then, I do have exceedingly good taste...
Ok....Dommie.....black
Commando......polished.
Except for Nigels Commando...
His will always be the best looking Norton hands down. Dont even try..
