My motorcycle has 5-spoke cast-aluminum wheels (like this:
http://home.alltel.net/flipr/images/02blast_02.jpg).

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.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike

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.
