I prefer stock finish on 914-4 Fuchs.
Rather than chrome, I would recommend polishing if you want to go the bling route.. |

Those looks great if you ask me. If you know anybody else that wants a set in the original finish let me know, about to sell a set as soon as I get them cleaned up.

I hate to say it but I like the bling. I think it looks great with the blue.

IIRC those are actually polished Fuchs not chromed.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Use the bling for every day and the Factory finish for concours... They look great on the car Rob! |

Your Dad's car looks great Rob! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)
I voted stock/refurbed vs. polished/chromed, so it looks like when your Dad had it. So is Buddy all set for her next resto in 2041 or so!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
