why in the name of (whoever) did they chrome the spokes on the repro's when clearly these were as you say dull satin finish from the factory. With that said anyone out there (correct) this finish to dull satin ? if the spoke finish is the only issue with the repro wheel and the finish (can) be corrected I'd buy one, price being a factor if a new repro wheel with a corrected finish is cheaper than a restored wheel.... go repro, if not get yours restored.
Later, BUZZ
The spokes on the reproduction wheel are polished stainless steel. A quick scotch brite pad and you'll have the satin finish. When I was selling that wheel, I gave the customer the option of shiny or satin finish.
