A Quality Resource For Anodizing Wheels?

I thought I might reach out to you guys to see if anyone has found a quality shop or resource for anodizing my Fikse wheels? East coast or otherwise.

Many thanks,

Dan

Thanks guys, Harvey and Reed did come to mind but thought they specialized in the restoration of Fuchs. This is for my set of Fikses. I could be very wrong but I think the both of them outsource the anodizing. Was kinda of hoping to cut out the middle man and deal with the anodizer themselves.

Many thanks,

dan

I've been to Al's place and spoken with Harvey. They do their own paint and anodizing.

I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Wheel Disenchantment....overpriced hacks on the best day.

Sorry mgatepi, I do have to agree with Joe Bob about Wheel Enhancement.

Joe Bob, thanks. I'll give them a shout and see what they say.

Try and get a hold of Pelican Jeff Alton.

There's a chance he can help you.

Never Wheel Enhancement. Waaaaaay to expensive. I think they take us (early Porsche community) for fools.

Weidman does his own paint/anodizing. I think that's part of the reason it takes so long for him sometimes.

Wow, I used Wheel Enhancement about 3 years ago to restore my Fuchs and they did a great job. Nearly the same price as HArvey and Al and they turned them around in 4 weeks.....maybe they have changed????
