What is the correct finish on the lug bolts for Pedrini, Mahle and Fuchs alloy wheels? Silver paint? Black paint? Plastic caps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) And, of course, everytime you remove the wheels and then remount them, you scuff the finish on the bolts once again. How were they finished originally, and how's an easy way to maintain a nice finish on them today? My '70 was originally delivered with 4.5" steelies w/hub caps AND aluminum trim rings (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) . Since my Pedrinis were fitted 20 years ago, I have no idea how the bolts were finished when new.

The original factory finish on the 914 alloy lug nuts.......Silver Annodized. The wheels are alloy, the lugs are steel...you cannot anodize steel. The lug bolts are silver cadmium plated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
