Did a quick mask up to check out the lines. Subtle I know but when reviewing deep 6 fuchs pictures on the web, there are ones that I like and have defined this as lots of rim, and bolder florets with the masking allowing more of the fat ends of the florets as they curve to the rim showing naked. A few refinements needed here to make them look right.
Gives the wheels more chunk. No doubt not correct, but then neither is the car so doesn't matter.
Light sand here makes the wheel look like it has 45 years of patina - tempting.

 

Experimenting with a few different black out styles here. Wheel on the left has the masking right down at the base of the florets and turns into the rim quite a bit. Wheel on the right has the masking part way up the floret and not so far into the rim. I think I prefer the latter.

 

A few things I learnt doing this;
you still gotta do a lot of masking
The masking guide made from fibreglass works great
Running a high tide line around the rim in etch primer poured in as a first step makes getting a straight masking line right at the inside of the lip real easy.

 

So I'll get some tyres fitted up, 195-65-15, and then take a good look at the two options and fix the ones I don't prefer as much.

 

Got the cookies refinished too. A set of sixes and sevens. Powder coat finish.

 

Mate you have done an awesome job on these wheels ..... and I agreed with you ,,, the left wheel with the masking right down at the base of the florets works for me to ............

 

Those cookies look great Dave

 

right wheel I agree dave

 

Thanks Gents, not too hard to change. This is quite an easy process when you get the hang of it and get a method going

 

Sometimes you discover things just a day too late.
I've been working on the design for 964 upper and lower rocker covers for a fellow Rennlister up the road and the first proto's were machined today from billet. The top of the cover in the picture has been bead blasted. Now that's no big deal on a normal day but the CNC shop I use recently got a bead blaster and if I'd known I would have run the Fuchs through there and got a satin finish on the shiny bits. Next time.

 

Finished. Final rub with scotchbrite then a coat of wax. Two different paint black out styles here.

 

Really happy with the finish, not too perfect and not factory standard. Dulled brightwork and gloss black paint

 

...chosen Pirelli 195-65-15 tires for road use. The 205-50's for track struggle to fill the arches and the car can't go much lower with those. The 195-65's should allow it to drop a little more.

 

stunning!
Just makes me want a set sooo bad!!

 

Any updates on how the interior trim is going Dave?
