By the way, this is my original outer mount. It's plated but if you look, you see scratches. If you're obsessive, you could have them perfect. Hell, chromed! But I just want to point out, this is the way they came from the factory.

Super excited to get these installed. Ordered two sets of mounts and two lights from justkampers.

Thanks for the information, education, and help!


Jeff it would be great to purchase two wiring harnesses for these (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)!!

Order up guys! There are 50 sets total and when they're gone, they're probably gone forever since we will probably not sell this quantity again, and if we want to order onesy-twosy we'll get a BIG price increase! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Wow, don't let that guy that showed up here last year selling his Ultra Expensive Plating Services see that..
His mission is to convince people his plating work is PERFECT and HAS to be that way to be correct...

Preparation is a large part of getting a "perfect" result in plating. That's why Mark has levels of pricing on this. As for the guy with perfect plating, if you ever get the chance to actually go to Weidman Wheels, ask Harvey to show you an original Fuchs wheel. Then have him show you one of his restored wheels. It's perfect, or as close as a human can get to that. People ask Harvey to restore their wheels to factory new condition. Harvey's response? I can't do it that badly.

I will readily agree on wheels having to be perfect. They are one of the first things you notice about a car.. Even from a distance..
Plated brake hardware and stuff buried in the engine compartment, not so much.
When these cars were built, the parts were pulled from a bin, bag or box..
Nothing was perfect... Any quality plating shop will do an excellent job, without the extreme pricing..

That was my point. Even the Fuchs as they came from the factory weren't perfect.

Get your orders in. McMark put together a list of pricing based on levels of finish. You can see it by reading through the thread. Given that some are buying multiple sets, I'd guess about 25% of these are spoken for already. Once the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) is over, they're probably NLA. Order up! Don't wait till last call! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
