Had some Speedlines refurbed and powder coated for £40 a wheel a few years back.

However what about these? My set are pretty scuffed and could do with a refurb. Wheels are the same as pictured:

I think they are fake splits, so once the bolts are removed they can be powdercoated as normal, then the bolts refitted.

Wait for confirmation from others though, as I may be wrong.

Do they look like 2 piece wheels?


No.

They look like 1 piece wheels, with bolts.

There is quite a distinct and defined gap between the basket and the rim - so I'd say there is more chance of them being two piece than one piece imo
