I refinished a set a while back. I had a pair of genuine Fuch 7" fronts and bought the 9" Euromeister rears. The machined outer rims didn't match the smooth front rims. I wasn't after a polished look so I ended up bead blasting the the rims on both pairs of wheels. The bead blasting removed the machined grooves and clearcoat on the Euros. I repainted the centers satin black and clear coated the raw aluminum. Turned out pretty good. The Euromeisters were noticeably heavier than the real Fuchs, but that's to be expected for a cast versus forged wheel. Overall I was pleased. The Euromeisters are a nice low cost alternative for expensive 16x9 Fuchs.
