Al Reed Rules

[126coupe]

I had my "ugly" black powder coated wheels changed to this:

I really like that "frosted" look

[fintstone]

Very nice! So what is that finish on the spokes and rims?

[126coupe]

They anodize the spokes with a frosted look and slightly
polish the outer rim

[CarreraS2]

Love it! The frosted look just looks so *perfect* on the early cars. It's a shame more people don't do that, instead of the ubiquitous polish or chrome.

That is what I thought. I didn't realize that Al Reed did anodized wheels. Sweet!

What is it with the valves? weird place for them on an early Fuchs...

[126coupe]

The valves were relocated the old holes were for tubes.
ubiquitous?? what does that mean??

[italcarguy]

So, all the wheels on the car gonna match now?

[bob tilton]

that looks really good minkoff. i also didn't realize that al reed did the frosted RSR finish. what is his price and how was the turn-around time?

[126coupe]

Ital Car guy, 6 done six to go!

Bob $120.00 each 7 working days, but I dropped off and
picked up

Nice Fuchs! Al Reed is a class act.

Heres the same finish from Al on a standard 15x7

[126coupe]

shuie I have 4 15x7's just like those, but a slightly semi glass look, im switching to the frosted look too your wheels look great!

I have very few regrets on how I put my car together. But one of them is that I wish I had done the RSR finish (like that) on my Fuchs.

Before too long, I will.

(Ubiquitous: Seeming to be present everywhere at once. As in, the polished Fuchs we see on so many 911's.)

[126coupe]

The trends seem to change. When I did my Black Fuchs 8 years ago it was "in" at the time, as were polished Fuchs.
That Frosted RSR look seems to never go out of style. I say the same for the 911 shape

[Vintage911Racer]

I want some of your money....

Maybe for christmas you can send me some.

They look great Mark

Vintage Racer willow is going to be 68-70 degrees
on friday. Im There at 8:00am You going?? Am Im going to be alone? PCA SanDiego cancelled. I'll bet very few cars

[bob tilton]

jack i think your car would look great with that finish.

a fellow early porsche owner once told me that the polished/painted fuchs is a "SoCal VW thing". at the time is was a budget thing for me.

at $125 per wheel i am tempted to send my wheels down to al for the RSR finish. monterey 2005?

thanks for sharing minkoff.

[126coupe]

I agree, Jack your car with that mean black paint against those RSR correct frosted fuchs would look oh so good.

Jack come to willow friday open test day and wear out some tires.

[126coupe]

Bob is your car that silver R looking car I have seen before

Post some pictures please

How's about more pics of the car!

Those wheels look awesome! I have had Al do 6 wheels for me and they all turned out great.
