Fuchs RSR Finish outsourced
 
Metro Wheels just outside of Atlanta
Metrowheels.net
(770) 423-0440 1093 South Cobb Drive Marietta, GA

I’m posting photos of the RSR finish wheels I just had done. It really makes the car standout relative to the all black centers.
I’ve used Metrowheels for years, mainly for exotic wheels like the Lowenharts on my NSX-T that were bent and in need of refinishing. I’ve been overwhelmingly pleased with the quality of their work, timeliness and cost/value.

This was the first set of Fuchs I had sent to them, I’m blown away. I could not have done this myself either for the level of quality or cost.

I had my wheels done with shiny clear to give a dressed up RSR finish however they can use a matte clear as well for the more traditional look.

Hope the info helps.

~ the wheels are 16" 7 and 8s running 245/45/16 rear and 205/45/16 front Bridgestone RE-11… Picture is before dropping the front ride height.

Should have left them lime green. Could have made it onto the Stanceworks website.

I keed, those turned out fantastic.

Less than $1,000 and took 3-4 weeks. I'll use them again for sure. Thanks on the complements folks!

I drive by their facility every day coming home from work often wondered if they are any good. Thanks for posting the wheels look great.

This is good to hear. I have been looking for someone local to re-do my wheels. I didn't want to deal with shipping across the country. Hopefully as I am local they can also remove and refit tires. Even better if I can just drop the whole car off with them.

Please also keep us updated on the durability. I think in my case I am going for the same RSR finish but without the polished lips and with matt clear.
