Fuchs to re refinish then sell, which is more desirable?
 
I have some late 16x6 Fuchs gathering duest

What are most people looking for? Full polish, Black face and petals or black face and polished petals?

I say polished with, back face polished petals :-), then just polished lip.

I think trend now is polished and RSR mat finish on face and pedal.

+1...Polished rims with everything else black. A biased answer :)

How about selling as is and let the next owner refinish? Doubt you will recoup your refinishing funds, and you will also limit your market.

Agreed. It really depends on the car its going on and new owner preference. Just clean 'em up and sell them.

I would sell them as is. That way the new owner can have them finished to their liking.

Another sell as is vote.

Yep, sell as is.

The next owner may want painted to match color centers, polished, or anodized. The possibilities are almost endless. Let the new owner finish the wheels to their tastes.

6x16s are probably the least desirable Fuchs there are followed by comfort group 14s.

Leave them as is, sell for $200 each to someone wanting the centers to make wider wheels.

It's a waste of money to refinish and then try to sell them. You absolutely will not get your money back. Sell them as is.

Joe Bob 07-12-2016 07:01 AM
50-60 a wheel, hardly...

Joe Bob 07-12-2016 07:45 AM
I was originally going to use them on a tear drop trailer and tow it behind the cab......

Most important that they are true then you can ask for more.
