The correct black for fuchs peddles..
I’ve seen so many deference’s I’m not even sure the experts quite know..
I’ve seen everything from gloss black to satin black to nearly graphite black.. I can say the graphite black is beautiful against satin fished rims.. Anyhow does anyone really know the exact concours correct black finish for fuchs.. Im also concerned with the correct amount of polish on the rim.. I understand this is anodized but somehow I don’t think a lot of folks with “restored fuchs” are getting them anodized correctly. If I recall right 25 years ago I worked at porsche dealer as a lot attendant. I remember the fuchs wheel of a 2000 mile 87 930. Memory serves me that the black was closer to flat black NO sheen and the lip was basically a satin almost as if it have been clear coated satin clear.. I know this was not clear but the anodization process. Does anyone have a NOS fuchs wheel they could post a picture of? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

However what would be most helpful is highly detailed pictures of concours level fuchs.

Look at the “Fuchsrestoration” site.
