I just picked up a set of -4 Fuchs and am wondering who to take them too and what I should ask them too do....bead blast the centers, polish petals and reanodize.
Ok,I'm ready for recommendations.
Thanks in advance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks for the advice..I've used 3 of the 4 listed above. Ended up with mixed results.
I'm looking for some possible new site in the LA area where I can drop off to ensure things are taken care of.....I just might have to ship wheels up North.

I would just 'shuttle' them up. Harvey has been known to pick up and drop off wheels at locations quite remote to his Oroville shop. For instance, IPB Autosport in Sacramento. Put out the word that you need something brought North and someone here will be heading up soon. SoCal Andy brought a spoiler and valance up from Vista to Tahoe for me. As long as you're flexible, you shouldn't have to pay to ship them... Harvey and his brother Al have both been to Original Customs in Sonoma a few times too.

Thanks for the advice- I do have to go to Stockton in July and I'm in no hurry too.
IPB Autosport- yaa that's it.
Thanks again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
