They were originally two tone annodized. All that means (I think) is that the paddles were polished out before annodizing. The inset of the wheels has a machined kind of finish that they just annodized over.
Here's a pic of a Fuch that has been in my trunk for 30 years. 100% original condition. Attached thumbnail(s)

Yep, that's my O'l Yeller; being picked up on Monday by the new owner. The wheels were re-furbished Weidman's Wheels in Oroville. BTW the longer lugs were bought off eBay with the required seat to fit the wheel; you need to be careful there. The original lugs are expensive if you can find them. |
