I've read the Fuch 2.0L Alloys didn't come with the inserts painted black. Is it difficult to paint them black yourself?
I guess it's a question of painting over chrome (blasting the chrome off and priming). Does painting the inserts black affect the value? What seems to be more in demand? |

I guess it's a question of painting over chrome (blasting the chrome off and priming). Does painting the inserts black affect the value? What seems to be more in demand? Assuming that they're genuine Fuchs 2L forged alloy wheels & not knock-offs, then the highest value on those wheels would be a perfectly preserved or restored factory finish, neither of which above pix are correct OE, as the background is a matte or stain finish, while the rim & petals are semi-polished. The one on the right looks like the repro version, but some folks paint up the real ones that black & other colors too. The one on the left looks like a fully polished one - either real or repro - & is not the correct original finish either. Also, the real ones are not chromed, but are polished/satin finish and anodized alloy. This is the correct original finish, center caps & lugs: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-1695-1260240732.jpg) Look here for more shots of a perfectly preserved set above on Sahara Beige 73 914-2.0 - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=101921 ... and look here for these Fuchs 2L & other OE wheels & tires info. - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=74857 Hope this helps!
