I be sure to post up pictures as soon as they are on the car. I had the barrels painted teflon black for easy cleaning and will now polish the lips and reassemble. It might take another week or 2 as I am inundated with 2 work projects that will last till June 14th.

Stay Tuned!

Put the work aside and get those wheels done

Really, what's more important, work or keeping the rennlist hordes happy?

Any updates? If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost for the centers only (strip/blast/anodize)? I'm considering doing the same on some Kinesis K28s and wanted to get a benchmark for quotes. If you would rather, you can PM me. Drool...

It is humbling to consistently see what great works are performed on 993s. These wheels are beautiful.

Both of the last 2 sets of aftermarket wheels that I purchased were painted per the manufacturer's recommendation for a long lasting easy to maintain surface
Kinesis
Forgeline

I remember that the anodized Fuchs that were on my '72 and '76 were a PIA to take care of and would look like shh*t at the drop of a hat.

Wow those E88s are drop dead gorgeous. Any pics on the car? I am thinking of doing a set of E88s mags I just bought.
