Hey, I have fully polished wheels and I have to sort of agree. From a angle they can look cool but in a straight side view it is too much.


Drop that thing and call MikeZ for some scripts

5Axis: No offense meant. I had fully polished for a while, and finally had to paint the black background to the petals.

No worries Ed. As above I kind of agree with you. ( at least sometimes)

I have too much going on and not enough$ for everything right now ( how un- unique is that ). I think something like these will be in my turbo cabs future.

Close enough? I purposely covered just enough to provide a mainly uniform color but with the hint of a bare wheel coming thru.



When I got the car they looked like this with stained anodizing and a poorly matched chipped repaint. Nothing like the pleasure of doing them youself for a small fraction of the expense of the pros and only about Your ENTIRE Thanksgiving vacation!!!!

With the chrome trim and stainless Targa bar, I like the polished Fuchs, but with a car like yours (black trim), I think the black Fuchs really do look better. Either way, you've got a great-looking car! Good job on the wheels!
