Hi Guys,
I recently purchased (5) Gas Burner 4-lug Mahle Wheels from Mark @ mepstein and had them Powder Coated with a Silver Metalic paint. They look real nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) BTY: Powder Coating cost $80.00 bucks per wheel. My plan is to change them out for next years TC parade in MI. My Porsche Certificate says "Alloy Wheels" so why can't I subsitute Mahle for Fuchs & be factory original????? Polished Fuchs don't look factory??

NICE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I think that Mahle's are the best looking of all the 4 lug alloy wheels. MUCH better than painted Fuchs and the holes in pedrinis make them look strange. Nicely done (but I agree that Concours judges know and see ALL and are very likely to see they are powder coated and not painted. The substitution is fine, but the finish might lose you points.) |
