Need New; Super bright High Polish 700 rims
I need to replace a bent rim on my 89 RB-1, I'm looking for a NEW high polished alloy 700 double wall, smooth round, eyelet rim, but everything I'm finding is either anodized or plain, seems the High Polish look is a thing of the past.... any one know who makes good quality/lite High Polished rims any more?
Thanx Steve
ps 36 hole

I ride cr-18-not rediculous light, but strong as hell. You might call AEBike and ask them about this finish, it says polished. Mine are brushed aluminum finish. The cross section is bomb proof and snake-bite proof. I ride mine off road too.

Sun Ringle CR-18 seem to be the only ones even close to what you are looking for that are still made.

You could always polish your own rim too you know.
All you need is a large polishing wheel, a soft cloth and some aluminum polish.
Just use some clearcoat and car wax to finish it up after you are done to keep the oxide off.

The only real option for a high polish road rim. CR 18 is a bit wide for smaller tires,
