Cheers guys, I agree you either love or dont the wheels, I prefer the alloy wheels, don't have to worry about spokes snapping (not unknown). However they will require a bit of looking after, the finish is bare polished aluminum (not lacquered) on the rims and the outside of the cast spokes, the inner parts of the spokes appear to be painted. Rather like polished rims on a streetfighter/sportsbike.
So will have to spend a bit of time on them. As I said I was considering a black America and had thought the wheels would have looked cool powder coated black. still might happen in a while. I also believe they have been known as Wagon Wheels on the forum, I'm going to take it back a bit further and call them
CHARIOT WHEELS 
Thanks for the offer but I think I shall hang on to the sprocket cover.
