Thread: Getting ready to be Weidman-ized

    Getting ready to be Weidman-ized

    Here are my 5 deep 6" Fuchs along with 2- 7" donor wheels that I am preparing to send to Harvey for his magic! For the Midwest Esses trip to the RGruppe event next spring I plan on traveling on some freshly restored Deep 6 and 7R Fuchs including a restored spare.
    Here is a "before" photo, I bet the "after" looks a lot better!

    What finish are you going to get Harevy to do on them ?

    Iwas recent;y in his shop discussing the 5 Deep 6 Fuchs I had shipped him to be refinished. We decided upon the RSR look as it has that "industrial" look I was after for my project car.

    I cant say enough about Harveys willingenss help & to discuss your project and what you are trying to achieve with your wheels. Well worth the visit if you are in is area (and I live 8000 miles away).

    I thought about the RSR finish as I really like how they look on a black car. After some thought though, I am probably going to stick with the OEM anodizing simply because it has a wider appeal and a little more versatility. Your average non-911 person probably doesnt "get" the frosted look.

    The RSR look is very cool but a complete bitch to maintain.
