Just Picked up my 7s and 8s 911 numbers for my 6 #41

True RS Finish not paint. Now to get these to PMB and SELL my fresh 7s and 8s 15s polished with new tires we just put on the car there.

Bob - they look great! Jewelry for the car.

hmm, nice. By "true RS finish", do you mean media blasted petals and rim, or anodized? Curious,

- Tony

Absolutely Beautiful !
I have the same questions as Tony
TIA

Sure, no problem. Rick at Fuchs Restoration. They are close to me in Costa Mesa. I paid him $1,464 to do the wheels plus $100 for the caps and $72. To remove the Chrome that was on the 8s. All Anodized finish. No paint. I take it that this is the same as Harvey’s finish.

Time was 8 weeks. He did my polished 15s 7 and 8s in 3 weeks. I have used Al Read a number of times over the years and he took a very long time. All in all, Fuchs Restoration Services was very good. To pack you wheels to ship back to you is $140 more plus the cost of UPS or FedEx

His prices are on the web site. https://www.fuchsrestoration.com

RSR finish is anodized.

Look at his site. The invoice called out for RS finish. Going over it with Rick he said the wheels have a combination of polished and bead blasted areas that where anodized.

All confusing to me but the web site shows lots of examples of finishes.

Rob,

your wheels have a heavier gray look to them than these.

RS finish is polish then anodized. I have a real (front) set from a ‘73.

RSR wheels have frosted petals. RS don't.

Holy Mother of Pearl, those are lovely!
Much as I like the RSR finish, the RS finish is a bit more.... sophisticated, maybe?

Either way, you have to be one happy man. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking finish Bob; good to know there is a nearby refinisher.

This is the look of #41

Good referral Bob, Local and priced competitively...will give them a shout

looking awesome. Keep me posted on the wheels your going to sell. Could be my first step in going wide body.......

I now know that RS finish is my favorite. Thanks for the education.

Eric turned me onto them.

Wow... Looks fantastic. Week done.

He advertises on 911S Registry. Good guy, he has a quick turn around.

The guys on pelican give him the thumbs up. It’s great to have someone who can do high quality work with quick turn around.

Those look great.. I definitely would go that route for your build.. I chose the cheap way out on mine only because I am not convinced I will stay with 15" wheels. Good reference and might look into it for a future set.

He could get t busy now and take much longer.

I think he says 12 weeks for RSR or RS finish. I was lucky to get my wheels faster.

I didn't know that your car was flared

For us who live in the southland, we can drop our wheels off with him and pick them up.

RS Finish is basically a stock Fuchs finish with a slightly higher polish on the lip face.

Just to be clear, this is not to be confused with the frosted RSR finish.

Looking good Bob

Wow better wipe my chin .

Better put some curb feelers on the car to protect those beauties

That can be arranged...
