Got a 99 IS.  I would like to refinish the wheels and front forks.  I don't want to disassemble everything and send out for chroming or powder coating. Althout i might still choose that for the wheels

I need suggestions on what y'all have used sucessfully to dress them up and make them easy to clean.  

Thanks!

Polished the forks and gloss white powder coated the wheels. I liked it right from the start. Sorry no pics. Powder coating was $50 per wheel.

I used 500F semi gloss Black Engine paint. It took 5 minutes per wheel. Did all three bikes almost two years ago. Not a single scratch. cooldude
