Yes, the deep six was polished, blasted, ANODIZED and then painted. It gives it more of a factory appearance. Harvey does them in a different process...he polishes, anodizes, then blasts and paints. That leaves the blasted area still hard to clean. I prefer the anodizing the protect the blasted areas. To each their own though, and I would NEVER question Harvey's work...He's THE man when it comes to wheels!

Chris, who does your anodizing? I'm gearing up to refinish a few wheels myself, and it looks like they did a nice job.

Thanks,

remember folks, if your wheels are not anodized use mother's mag & aluminum polish! I recently just used it on mine...already polished lip and pedals...30 mins per wheel...and they came out ridiculously shiny. I gonna post some pics soon.

$7 bucks off amazon.com and I got practically new rims!!!

I think Industrial Plating in Seattle did those. Most shops that do your zinc and cad plating can do anadizing. I would probably run a test piece to see if you like the appearance.
