Thinking of polishing the ribs and lip on my Pedrinis, and painting the other part black, then covering it with clear. Anyone have pics of Pedrini or 4 lug Mahle with the ribs oplished and the rest black? Thinking it would look sharp, and save me a TON of time polishing, tried a search but no joy. Thanks

Tobra,
I did a search "pedrini" and turned up a post that I think will help answer your question. The post is titled "painting pedrinis, options please". I had a heck of a time getting the search function to work, and I'm sorry I can't get the direct link posted, but that thread has several pics of what I think you're after.

Used to have Pedrinis with black backgrounds and silver details.

Always wondered what they'd look like with polished details and silver paint where the black was...

Damn Joe, those are nice. I'd be tempted to trade a set of fuchs for those.

Gregg-
I really really like the looks of the polished ribs/rims with the silver background. Do you know who did those?

I wonder how hard that would be for me to do to mine...

Eastwood Garage has the tools and chemicals for a do it yourselfer. I have a box full of stuff to shine up some cookies. Most folks would polish the ribs, paint the rest and clear coat.

I don't remember where I got the picture, but it looks good doesn't it?

I actually like that better than what I was thinking of, more subtle. The motivation for polishing just the ribs, instead of the whole wheel was a labor saving one. You could polish where you wanted, mask it off, paint with the silver then clear coat. I don't dig the full polish thing(No offense Trekkor, too bling bling for my taste), may be why I like the Fuchs as they come, shiny petals, satin back ground.
