Fuchs RSR finish

Hi,

Looking for someone in Florida to refinish my wheels RSR style. Any recommendations?

Not in Florida but There is a member here that does excellent work for very reasonable price. Peter Nguyen is his name.

Running through the memory banks, but I seem to remember a Fuchs refinisher in Tampa. Might do an advanced search here.

i got a fresh set from him. it made more sense to just get another set of wheels an sell mine how they are (black PC) than to take mine off ship them back and forth. ill just sell mine when the new ones come in

Did mine two years ago

Before



After







Also, based on a LOT of experience I would highly recommend only this for RSR wheels: Mothers Aluminum Wheel Cleaner

Back in the day I used Alex Magro here in Tampa for repair a D90 wheel for my 964. He is known for his work with Fuchs and his email address is jamagro@email.com

Pretty sure here is here on the forum and should be easy to find with a search.

I ended up buying a full set from him and had them shipped to me.

My current set were powder coated and in great condition so it didn’t pay for me to ship them to him and strip and redo. They are up for sale.

My set total for 16x6/7 with center caps and shipping was about 2800.

My wheels came out great. And so was the communication.
