[jonferns]

ok, set aside some time tomorrow to polish my 2.0 fuchs, which many people have told me need it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (thanks all)

I used the search function, and couldnt find too much...so, what is the best way??? I dont want to remove the anodizing, so should I go with the "mothers" power ball, and metal polish, or the actual mothers wheel polish??? I want the non-anodized parts to be nice and chrome(y) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

thanks all in advance.... -JON

Just in case you were to pay someone to do them, I started investigating. Prices are what I found recently from communication but obviously I cannot speak for the individual vendors!

Magro is a member of this site. Really easy to talk to, great reputation. He's done many of the Fuchs 914 wheels. I believe he polishes the spokes and paints the background a color similar to the patina of the original.

Harvey's a perfectionist and assures me the wheels will look exactly like the original. Has some type of dual anodization process, goes through twice. Says other processes involve ?media blasting? the new anodization in the background to get the different finish. And he spends lots of time on the spare because you're constantly looking at the back of it. 300 per wheel.

Formerly Robert Wood. Hard to find out that they even DO wheels on the website, seem to be much more interested in selling new wheels. But, I did speak to a gentleman on the phone on a Saturday who seemed quite knowledgeable. Yes, the reanodize and it's 240 per wheel.

Damn! Makes me wish I could just go and paint a set of Mahles!
