Thanks lads, yes paul it is powder coating, condition dont really matter as they are blasted before hand though i did linish the outer edges on mine as they had some deep tyre lever marks in them.

Will post some pics when they are built up got to save some pocket money up though :save

I put in the thread on the subject of getting the hub ring plated couldnt get a good enough seal between the steel ring and the alloy of the hub.
