On the right side of the bike they look OK. On the left side they look like the one in the picture with hollows which are difficult to keep clean.



I was thinking of figuring out some way to fill or cover these voids, hopefully without creating balancing nightmares.

I have the same problem with my k1200rs wheels, FS365 fixes the problem, it's surfactant and mineral oil in a water base, spray it on after washing the bike and it stops the crap sticking and it stops corrosion.

Thanks for the idea, I'm in the USA, but I'm sure I can find or make something similar.
