Refinished fuchs--WAY more work then I planned

[everforward]

Looking good JonT. Would you mind sharing the specs on wheel and tire sizes? I have been considering your tires (A052’s), but don’t know if I want to run 50 series sidewalls from my current 60 series. 205/60/R15 (F) & 215/60/R15. If I went with the A052’s the only matching pair would be 205/50/R15 (F) & 225/50/R15 and might require some suspension adjustments. Matching tire sets for 15’s with my current specs are hard to come by these days. I’d like avoid a new set of rims and tires and suspension adjustments. Thanks in advance and I hope my question doesn’t distract from your wheel porn.��

As long as you're able to maintain that polished, but unprotected surface (e.g. anodizing), should be fine.

Can anyone provide their experience maintaining polished but uncoated aluminum Fuchs (or even non-Fuchs for that matter)? I have been wondering if it is a PITA or a non-issue.

TIA

Thank you for providing the specs JonT
