My question now is .... should I have the other OEM 21" Sport wheels cleaned up and PC'd at the tune of $600 .... or just sell them outright with curb rash and all.

did you out those 21" on a 958 turbo?
anymore pics?

Thanks

We initially did some sample work when getting into the PC side, however after getting in contact with Race Technologies (the US Brembo importer) and speaking with them extensively regarding the reasoning and OEM finishing process we felt it was best to follow a method that closely replicated the original finish.

This is the reasoning behind our choice to hard-bake over PC.

The Gloss Black yes, but we just started the other set, those won't be done for at least a week.

Depends on your market, I would offer out "as-is" but if they are not moving then consider putting money into them. Sometimes it's hard for people to vision the end results but others will want an other color for instance and see the value of a discounted wheel to have refinished their way.

not knocking your finish by any means, just another way of getting there. I hope people who are calling are telling you I send them.

Wheel Dynamics

Yes, I understand, only giving the reason why we chose this method years back, we have received some calls and yes they have made mention of your referrals which we do appreciate.

Thanks for the reply ... I was thinking whether to drop the $650+ on the wheels to get them PC'd ... or offer them "as is" with curb rash ... as you said, find buyer with vision ... the PC I had done is top notch, the old guy has been doing all types of metal finishes for over 30 years ... explained the whole processed and dispelled many rumors that are out there about PC and wheels.

What's a baseline non-refinished used price for these Sport 21" wheels? Then shipping is probably about $25 a wheel in the US?

Lots of information available regarding PC products, however I found this link that has some good information and real-world explanations

Also remember, just because you have something without failure over the years doesn't necessarily make is safe. I'm sure there are plenty of homes that have missing load bearing walls which were removed during remodels etc. although they might not have fallen in 30-years, it still doesn't mean they are safe or that they will not fail in time.

True there is debate on this .... most of the high temps they talk about was mainly due to the quick and dirty hot acid that was used in the past to remove the old coatings ... nowadays mostly tedious sandblasting is used.

Cure temp can be discussed and as noted ... below 400 degrees ... the quality of work also matters ... who is doing it and how they are doing it ... also, the quality of materials and ovens they are using .. I'm thinking makes a difference

As with anything in life ... even OEM parts on a well designed German car can fail .. look at coolant pipes and drive shaft bearings to name a few on these Cayennes
