Refinishing Deep 6s

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Well I never thought I'd be asking this question, but with all the "opinions" over on classifieds about some R wheels, I figure it can't hurt.

Here are some deep 6s I will getting soon in a trade. I saw what Joseph Herreros (sp?) did with his 17s, the RSR finish, and think they are the most beautiful wheels around.

these will be going on a silver 69E, currently sporting 14s as part of the comfort group.

Sooooo, I am looking for pics of deep 6s with various finishes and thoughts on what would look good on the car.

I have deep 6's on my 69T. Just finished the driver's side.
Removed the anodization, sanded, polished, masked to factory lines, and primed/painted. They look amazing.

I will take a pic and post.

Restored by Weidman to the same as the Factory finish and paint line (and the same as George's wheels).

Thanks everyone, so when I ask Al Reed to redo them, should I just say done as OEM factory finish? Look at the 2 sets, I think that's the way to go. What exactly is the factory finish? Is that an anodize or clearcoat?

Bob, thanks for the frosted pics, they didn't turn me on in the way I thought they would. BTW, I love your car. It really is gorgeous!
