Fuchs wheels refinishing: part two.

[AUDIJIM at aol.com]

Hello Louis,

I have three set of Fuchs for my cars. I have a set on my 87' 200/5000cs TQ 
that are completely gloss black. This car is my commuting vehicle between NJ 
and DC. It has over 282,000 miles as of this last trip down to DC. I love the 
Fuchs because they are so strong and light. I decided to go with gloss black 
because my car was originally pearl effect white. I am going to paint the car 
Porsche grand prix white (PGPW) someday and one of my other sets of Fuchs is 
painted PGPW. They look fantastic (to me) and they have the rim lips polished. The 
spoke ridges are not polished because that would have cost me a lot more for 
the wheel refinishing. I have not done any of my own wheels yet so the sky was 
not the limit. My last set of Fuchs are going to be factory silver and go to 
my UrQ as an alternate wheel between the Ronal's. On my white 200/5000, the 
black wheels give the car a Euro "police interceptor" look that startles people 
when I drive by them on the highway. Since the car has no identifying badges 
on it right now and the black tail lights and license plate light assembly, the 
public has no idea what the car is unless they saw the rings on the grill. It 
makes my two and a half hour commute to dc/home a little more fun. I can send 
you pictures of my black wheels and the PGPW wheels when I get home tomorrow 
if your interested.

Cheers,

Jim Furdyn
