I have 8X15" five lug Fuchs on my car that need to be refinished. I plan on redoing them myself because I need the budget for other 914 related things. I will probably strip all the paint off of them and just seal the dull aluminum with a few coats of clear laquer. I don't like the 'bling' of polished or the work it'd take to get me there. What I do love however is the look of the RSR anodized wheel with satin black centers. I know I probably can not anodize them myself but is there any temp alternative, such as a method to make the stripped aluminum brighter (RSRs are a white/silver) (maybe scuff with very fine steel wool? Or maybe I could go with a flat bright silver spray paint, then use a low sheen sealer? Any thoughts?
