Question Fuchs questions on OEM finish

How many different finishes did Fuchs offer for their Porsche 15" and 16"wheels?

What years did the polished paddle/lip appear?

What years did the anodized version come out? From? to ???

Thanks.

AFAIK, every Fuchs wheel made was anodized, regardless of the paint scheme.

Anonodized pedals with black background was the original finish....the factory never offered polished as an option as far as I remember....painted centers (to match stripe) started as early as the Carrera RS...Body color centers were available on SCs and Carreras....Black centered wheels started with the SC I believe. And lets not forget the ever popular RSR Finsih....mmmmmmmmm...my favorite of all.

All were anodized.

Clear paddles through 1976 (I believe)?? Painted paddles (but still anodized wheel) beyond that (I believe). In 73 the RS had painted paddles.
