SilberUrS6- I am not sure about the different petal appearances on your 8's. Do you have pictures?
The mottled look on the anodizing might have something to do with how the wheels were prepped for anodizing. Or perhaps what other items were anodized at the same time with them. I had the same concern before I had them done. Mine look great! Do you have pictures of the mottled wheels?
The RSR look is definitely attractive. I assume you are speaking of the polished rim and satin edge. This can be done with anodizing and paint or better yet I am told with a two step anodizing like the originals were done according to the experts. It can be done and has been. Do you a picture of what you want it to look like?
I'm not sure about the bead blasting process. Perhaps as one of the prepping steps.
An overall brushed aluminum look can also be achieved in an anodizing process. Do you have a picture example to share?
Megerian - It is a Turbo badge. Previous owner(s) or clown put it on there. Probably the same one to chrome the wheels. It has been changed to a Carrera badge.
Vickcraw- The chrome removal (stripping) process is a chemical process performed by a local chrome shop. I think they did a nice job.
Kugelfischer - I guess any process other than sitting in a box in a closet can be harsh. The chrome and aluminum mixed with road grim and chemicals and salt (brine) was very harsh on my wheels. So much that the chrome was peeling, chipping and bubbling off. Do you know what the original proper harness is exactly and what original process is used to heat them to the hardness spec you are referring to?
