    Question re fuchs for Harvey

    Hi Harvey or anyone else that knows the answer.

    Without giving away your trade secrets can you please briefly outline how the fuchs factory and you are able to achieve the slightly polished outer lip and
    petals on a fuchs STD finish wheel.

    Is it done after the anodising process, which to me seems logical as how else do you create a non unirform anodising finish?

    Cheers

    You can't successfully polish anodizing, it is too thin and hard.
    The polishing was done on a (articulated) lathe before the wheel was anodized.
    That is the reason only the tops of the spokes and the outer lip was polished.
    We had a similar lathe made for this process.
