Because I know not everyone reads my build thread and if someone searches in the future it will be easier for them to find this.
Picked up a set of 16x7 Euromeister Fuchs replicas. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c1.staticflickr.com-19709-1490795461.1.jpg) They look pretty good right out of the box, but I wanted an RSR finish, or something close. A real RSR finish is anodized with black paint and a polished lip (as far as I understand...) I didn't want to go that crazy. I masked the machined/polished outer lip and shot the whole front face in Rustoleum dull aluminum. Then masked the pedals and inner lip and shot the flat black. I did it this way because it's easier to mask. I used electrical tape to mask the paint edges, and blue tape for the larger open areas.

The wheels look great! You did a super job on them.
I know that a lot of guys have posted here that there wheel / tires worked on 16 x 7 Fuchs. It may scrape in the rear when you are in high-speed turns or when you are going over a dip. The fronts may scrape when going into a turn going up a driveway. My V8 car had 7 x 16 with small tires/ Low Profile 215/40 ZR 16 and I do not see any indication that there was scraping but the wheel wells have been made flat and pulled a little in the rear. No sign on car or tires of scraping but the 40 is just a rubber band tire. Just sharing. Bob |
