You have asked about the fuchs which came on my 914 S....here goes...the O.E.M. spare rim is dated 8-72...and so are all the others.....and they are part#...914.361.011.00 .They look different in /on the backside than THE PHOTOGRAPH with notes you have shown......as a point of intrest the spare RIM and ALL the four on the ground are identical in every way...EXCEPT the four on the ground have a Painted BACKGROUND.....and after looking closely with a magnifing glass its obvious they are painted...and not quite dead flat black....they are Not anodized....the spare tire is an original tire ..DUNLOP 165 hr 15....looks like it and the rim have NEVER been used...the rim is clean and perfect (both sides and the tire has full tread....and is not dry rotted.(cracks showing in sidewalls)..However,.I would never consider using it obviously.

QUOTE the anodizing is a heat tempering process Anodizing in an electrical process involving cathode/anode interactions in a chemical bath. Heat isn't a significant part of the process. Anodizing makes the surface harder and impervious to oxidation. After anodizing, but before sealing, a dye can be sprayed, dipped, or brushed onto the part to color it. |

Thanx for the correction/clarification McMark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I actually read up on a company in No. San Diego County which does regular & "deep anodizing" which is supposed to be harder & more durable. They also do chrome & cad plating, but don't know quality as I've never used them. http://www.prime-plating.com/?utm_source=g...CFRwpawodyX0FBQ Sea Salt air is especially notorious for causing the white oxidation on the old aluminum sliding windows which were anodized, so that may be what some are seeing if they're close enough to the ocean to catch the on-shore breezes. |
