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??

the Brackets showing below the front valance, tie downs ??? Those are the tow bar brackets.And a question - isn't powder coating considered a paint? ... just applied dry? Do judges deduct points for powder coated engine tins? ... and suspension components? euro911 My tow bar bracket was custom made of heavy flar bar and attached with about (10) bolts. Overkill, but a good design by the PO in CA before it came to MI. Here is the only photo I have of the tow bracket. BTW: I agree, powdercoating is paint with a different method of application.
