    Someone familiar with Harvey's pricing may pipe up, too.

    I think around $325.00 per wheel is a good estimate for Harvey . Harvey is actually a good deal if you are prepared to wait . No one else comes close , but if you won't appreciate the authenticity maybe someone else .

    If just one wheel, I'd sell as is—as most people will want wheels to match and it's therefore best to do wheels in batches. If I was a buyer, I'd want to match it to other wheels in one shot.

    Your idea of a "nick" is quite different than mine.

    I agree with Ejboyd. More than a "nick" and will drive down the value of the wheel. From the picture the rim "nick" looks like it will need to be welded. If so it will not be invisible when the wheel is anodized.

    If the filler material is the same alloy as used by Fuchs, then the anodized finish should match with the existing wheel, but what are the chances of that happening? Nil. I had Al Reed refinish a set of Kelsey P2 wheels (17" barrels with welded Fuchs centers) in an RSR finish. After bead blasting the original polished finish, the former valve stem hole (plug-welded by Kelsey) and the surrounding wheel had distinct color differences. Anodizing wouldn't have made a difference. I ended up ceramic coating all bead blasted surfaces with a close matching RSR gray/silver.
