Considering refinishing 16" Fuchs in the "Classic" style, need quality refinishers that won't break the bank.

Thanks, Pics of their work appreciated.

Al reed polished the 2.0 Fuchs on my car a few years ago.
He did an awesome job... click below to see the photo of them on my car.
I think he only charged me $50 a wheel and he installed the tires.

OK, Al Reed it is. I just read about a million posts on the bird without a single negative.

Hi,

Here's a pic on one of my wheels that I just got back from Al Reed. It was black anodized.

Hope this helps!

I bought my set from a guy in SF. I think he got a couple of them from Rich Johnson.
I might be able to get Al Reed's number, but it probably
won't be till Monday.

I gave $85 apeice- but I went through Rayburn & Williams in Chicago to get the polish job. It cost another
$10 apeice to polish and handpaint the centers.

They will clearcoat for extra $ but I chose not to. No doubt there's more polishing and upkeep, but I've heard that the "index of shine" is supposed to be a
little better without the clear. The black background on the webs would also be glossy vs. satin if cleared.
Probably just a personal preference on which way to go.
I'm sure they'd look good either way.
