Anyone have any cool paint schemes they did on their Mahles? I am going to run Mahles on my car and am thinking of black with polished lips. Interested to see what else has been done

Maybe something like this

There is a group selling Italian made repro Malhe 4-lug baby gas burners in that same look on TheSamba IIRC (look under classifieds - wheels & tires section &/or under Porsches parts classifieds there.

...Al Reeds work

Don't have a picture, but I really like how Marcs turned out.

Media blasted with glass beads, cleaned with brake cleaner, painted with Wurth's Silver Lacquer. Didn't clear coat over lacquer.

Thumbs up Ron.. they look great. Have a set in basement I need to finish up.

Not quite a Mahle, but another of Al Reed's work. The other pic is how they started out.

Not malhe's also but close enough

I'm partial to this look

I love Mahles! Doesn't matter how you finish them: OE, LE, polished ribs and lips, etc. As you've seen many times, I went with a charcoal blue - same color as rockers and valances. The ribs and lips were left unpolished cause I wanted a muted look.
