That would be Harvey Weidman of Weidman's Wheels in Oroville, California. (530-534-7903)
Google Weidman's Wheels and you'll be in the know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) That is the RSR finish as Rob mentioned. It is all done in the anodizing/dipping process. Others bead blast or even paint the centers to match the finish. They all come out looking good and costing less but, I think this is the best way to go. A full set will probably run around $1,400.00 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Next the Goodyear Bluestreaks get mounted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |

He is a 914 owner, multiples actually, and he started the wheel business that Al Reed subsequently bought from him. Al is Harvey's older brother and is retired from the wheel business. He is a member here and goes by his own name for a screen name. He regularly comes all the way down from Oroville for the Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion days... |

Thanx Eric & Rob - How does he do the 2L Fuchs to OE finish - also in anodizing process for the satin background & (semi-)polished petals? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) IIRC - Al Reid said he finishes the 2L Fuchs first to the (semi-)polished finish, then anodizes (which takes it down to the semi-polished look), then adds the satin finish to the background afterwords. Is that not the best way to go with the original "real" Forged Fuchs 2L Alloys? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I recall Al Reid talking about who he bought his business from, but didn't make the connection initially here - not knowing of Al & Harvey Weideman before this.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) IIRC, Al told me that Al Reed worked for a medical appliance company and had Al Weidman do the polishing for SS heart valves. Ultimately, he bought the company. Fun story if you ever get to talk to Al Weidman directly. I have seen Al Reed's work and it is nice. But you should know that Harvey makes them better than they came from the factory and knows more about Porsche wheels than anyone period... |
