Thanks Raven for reply. Can someone please tell me the best way to restore 125 mk1 wheels? Are they satin black originally?

Bit of an endless question tbh mate. Dont know what state yours are in now or what type of end finish you are going for? Mine turned up painted Dulux Gloss white! Paint strippered them back to clean alloy and used Hammershite smooth black on mine years ago. but i didn't know any better then and they are still like that now. If i was to do them again or when i do them again they will be sprayed Satin black. At the moment the bodywork paint is my main priority.

i stripped mine right back to bare metal, polished the rims and spokes up, and then got some satin black paint from wilkos along with a good quality 1 inch brush and painted them with 2 coats carefully if any paint went on to the polished bits just wipe of with a rag about 8 hours total to do a wheel can not tell at all that its been brushed painted.

Got to agree with broughton I've seen his wheels and they look original to me
