Thread: Deep Dish Sixes, Polished or Anodized

    Deep Dish Sixes, Polished or Anodized

    Al Reed will be refinishing a set of deep sixes for my 70 Targa. I need to decide between polished or anodized finish. Any comments and photos of deep sixes, polished and anodized, would really help me make the decision. Comments are also welcome. The car is original so I'm leaning toward anodized. HELP.

    Thanks in advance,

    Both look good but if you want original go with the anodozed. Why not?

    Let me be in the minority and say polished.
    That's what I've got.

    71T with original finish

    Deep sixes on my original "T"! I have polished 7`s on my "E" and I would prefer the factory wheels having both types in the garage.You won`t be disappointed with the original style. Tom

    I agree. I have both and the factory finish is far easier to maintain, besides looking original. A high polish can look sharp with some cars, but too Bling with others. Pay the extra $40 each and have them anodized.

    factory finish

    the factory looks best and they are wash a wear up keep. polished wheels dull after a while and then you have another thing to keep up. Regards Chris Early S REg. #205
