914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Can these Fuchs be made to look like new ...

How bad does the scuffing and gouges look on these wheels? Can a wheel place clean them up and remove these gouges? Thanks.

You've got some pretty good gouges there. I'm sure anything is possible. Is it worth it, vs. findiing a decent of other wheels for the same investment... you decide.

Somewhere on Pelican, someone posted a picture of a set of Fuchs wheels that he had powdercoated in a silver-chrome finish. It looked awesome, was very durable, and reasonable.

Good luck!

I am sure those could be made to look like new, but as the ones listed on the classifieds say "got $1200 into them". if you want perfect, just buy those!

Ouch! Did someone remove the center caps with a claw hammer!? I agree they could be fixed, but it would cost you $$$$. Wheel Enhancements seems like a good place. I've seen some of their work. Real nice.

You need to get your wife a Hummer... or the obverse, my wife wrecks the car, then bends a wheel, someone is getting a Hummer.
