are those outer rims anodized or painted ? they almost look painted .. ?

either way they are nice.

All finishes are consistent with the original offering. Anodized outers. Satin black centers.

Congrats ...and likewise jealous! Enjoy!

Good work! But the lug holes should not be painted as per original specs.

Ironman88

That's good to know.

I would be interested to see how / where you referenced that information.

Thanks.

Antomero

Had my original Fuchs reconditioned by Harvey Weidman. Harvey gave me the complete run down on reconditioning the Fuchs to OE specs. The man knows his Fuchs!

I'll let these guys know that then. Although they are not known to be amateurs...

Here you go.

No paint is also true for the ball surface on the lug nuts that mates with the wheel. The concern is that you don't want to mess with the friction surface between the wheel and the nut, as it can affect torque specs and cause the nuts to loosen.

I don't know how likely that is to happen, but that's the argument for no paint.

I was also considering this company but after speaking with Harvey it was clear who was reconditioning my wheels.

Ironman88

When did you have them done? What was the turnaround time? What was the cost to do the work?

TheTorch

Don't worry the paint in the lug nut holes will be gone after a few removals / reinstalls, and those Ti nuts don't have any paint :^)

Thanks.

I chose to go with Fuchs Restoration because they do good work at a fair price, and their turnaround times are reasonable. I'm aware of Harvey Weidman of course and using him would have been an option. However, the word I've gotten is that the wait time is nearly a year. I don't have time for that. (My wheels were completed in two weeks.)

The anodization restoration work on my wheels is great. Paintwork - also great. If the lug seats have paint on them - ok, that's one "nit to pick" I guess.

Your comment Torch is what I was thinking also - a few uses and it's no longer an issue.

Thanks again.

lol exactly what i was thinking ... wont be painted long ....

those wheel do look outstanding. but i think this years budget will go to my Targa roof..
