i think my C14 had those anno as well, smooth no texture.
it did start to turn color a little, but certainly not like yours. looks like you will lap me 10x in a session!

that's a great looking wheel, the faded one!

 

sems hard to believe that the black got that light. how old are those rims. and how many events on them?

 

I think that batch had an anodizing problem.

 

My black CCW's are a matt black and they did not turn purple.

 

mdrums, what are the specs on your CCW wheels?

 

mdrum, what are the specs on the CCW wheels?

 

GT3 fitment....I got these from Mooty on the board. However they fit the same as the last set of CCW's. I just called John up and told him I wanted GT3 997 fitment wheels.

I have 9x18 which have a nice agressive offset and 12x18.

 

I did see the anodized and painted side by side. Both looked good, the anodized has that pebbly look because of the shot peening. John said the peening process actually makes a stronger wheel.

I hadn't heard about the color change. Not sure that anodizing would have an effect since it isn't a true heat treatment.

 

Wheels were a about 2 1/2 years old in that picture. Probably 50-60 days on them. Over time you could see the color changing from the center of the wheel out. At one point when the centers were gold, middle purple, and the edge black, they were the coolest looking rims around.

Could have been. The second set I had turned purple, but never got to the gold stage. Although they were only 1 1/2 years old before sold

 

Thanx 4 the update and the effort KBS... Looking fwd 2 getting a set when they are available in the near future...

 

Thanks for the update.. the color change I was talking about is that anodizing color seems to fade when the wheels were heated to high temperature through track use (over time). (you can see from the pics posted by others here) And paint version does not have that issue.

But I'm hoping that the new anodizing process has improved that color changes no longer happen.

 

I overheat everything, so I must be fast...

Does that not make the weights fly off, like on the Volk finish I had?

About 6 weeks for RS offset is good, I am OK for now with BBS, promised to me next week delivered.
I will need another special set with new slicks in case one of the slick cheaters has a good day

 

Mine are the pebbly look (anodized) 2nd year many track days and they are still black.

 

Hey! Thanks for bringing your GT3 over to him to start this process! I am looking forward to getting another set of wheels and have been holding out for CCWs

 

I have a set that have discoloration on one wheel only. I assume this is a problem with manufacturing, not something the user could cause.
