Nah Fuchs aren't staying - they are borrowed off my brother in law (they will be on his ghia soon). Speaking of the Cups....

I performed some custom treatment to the Porsche Cup 3 replica wheels....firstly I took them to a machine shop and had the lips of the rims machined off so they were a flat profile rather than rounded. Because there were some casting marks I then hit them with 360, then 600 then 1200 grit wet and dry to gradually abolish the marks and sanding scratches.


Next onto the buffing wheels to polish them up. Then came the masking tape and paper....followed by some grey metallic base coat followed by four coats of clear. I wanted something a little more agressive than the stock treatment, and something different. Pretty happy with how they turned out.
