It's time for tires. I've been thinking of having my 2.0 Fuchs wheels fully polished. They are in overall good condition and the original anodizing seems to be intact. I love the look of the polished wheels but I also like originality. Any thoughts on polished Fuchs?
If I have them polished can I restore to the original look down the road...? |

Thanks to all of you for your responses. I have decided to have the old tires dismounted, take the wheels home and clean them up, get new alloy center caps and have the new tires mounted. No polish at all. They are in pretty good shape with no curb rash. Once I remove the old weights from the lips....they will look good.
I'm not trying to do a show quality restoration. I want it to look like a clean, unmolested example and enjoy driving it. Thanks again, Jack |
