The Honda's wheel rims are in pretty good nick, but the edges of the rear rim are showing a few battle scars from years of tyre changing. Re-chroming the rims is tricky and expensive, and replacing them with new ones means I'll have to use different rim profiles and it won't be any cheaper. After some deliberation we opt to re-use the original rims. We're not aiming for a full concours restoration with this bike and some evidence of its 33 years' faithful service seems appropriate
