I've had a lot of wheels done over the years but never any 914/4 Fuchs models.
Looking for input on someone to refinish a set I bought this summer that are not curbed and in great shape save for the fact one has been obviously cleaned "too thoroughly" at some point. It is not polished but it's apparent that it's not original finish either. The idea is to have a second set of wheels with standard size tires on them to swap out when I go on longer journeys and not back road blasting. The 50's look great but as we all know create a lot of rpm in top gear so the interstate is NOT my friend. FWIW, the car had ancient Dunlop GT Qualifiers in the same size. Still round, no cracks but "timed out" for sure! Thanks!  |
