I really like this finish on Pedrini's. It's just a little different than what's been posted here. Anyone know who did it?
I've read that Pedrini's don't polish but these look really polished on the edges.
Any info is great.

Lindsay's up in Okie City can do that. Not cheap, but they are the best in the area. They matched 2 of my Fuchs to a set of Al Reed's, and you can't tell the difference.

I think those might be some Italian (or something) made repros, which come polished or black with the polished ribs. They also do a Mahle 4-lug similarly. They sell on TheSamba all the time.

The edges of my wheels are rough. It looks like a lot of metal to come off to put on a shine. l Did your wheels end up with a polished shine like these? If you can post a picture - thanks.

Those look great. Just as a reference point, I had a similar thing done to my Mahles when the car was repainted last year. I purposely wanted a flat appearance on the ribs and lip. Very pleased with the way it worked out.
