Post Correct finish for 944 Turbo S wheels?

Hey I just picked up a set of 944 Turbo S wheels for 150 bucks. They are in good shape but could stand to be refinished and I was wondering how they were originally finished. Is it just silver paint like the phone dials or were they anodized or something? If they were painted where can I get the correct paint?

Also, I thought I would put them on my 87 NA. They should bolt right up and fit correctly without spacers right? Any clearance problems?

Thanks!

Mike, they wont fit your n/a I dont think. I'll buy them for $175.

They are 65mm ET front 60mm ET rear.
Your n/a is 52.3mm front and rear.

EDIT:

Correct finish looks like this:

I dont think its the same as the silver finish on the phonedials...

Okay, I'll give you $50 and a RIDE in my 968 Turbo [$500 value - yours free!]. But you have to pay for shipping.

HAH! Trevor, we'll just let him decide which is the better deal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Mike, I could drive by and look for a roped off area or something...hehe. I'll check with the local HS people I haven't talked to in a while...see if they have any good gossip/news.
