Yes, Chris Talabi @ Diamond Styling used to do superb refurbishing work on Fuchs wheels but he sold the company many years ago ...

Hi viper
Just had my wheels done by a guy called Biagio in Bedfordshire
You can see his work on eBay, he goes under the user name of rock chick (don't ask me why)
The job he has done is fantastic wheels literally look brand new. Not cheap at £1200 but if you are spending a fortune on the rest of the car you can't skimp on the wheels.
If you want to pm me I can give you his mobile number and send you some pics

I can refurbish your rims to factory finish from £170 per rim, depending on the finish you require, usually based on the car that you are fitting them to. When Diamond Styling were still doing Fuchs until recently, they were coming to me to get them done.

Thanks revo...Thanks Nick
I'm looking for factory anodised finish.
They've been done by someone very well but the rim is polished and i don't like
So there's no machining to be done, basically the wheels haven't turned since refurb.

Had mine done by Nick about 7 years ago + 40 k miles and still look like they were done yesterday.

Does Biagio really want £1200 now?
Seems a lot.

JZM came to value my 1970 911T. They said that my Fuchs, although very well re-furbished by PO, had been painted not anodised, they said they were agents for Fuchs and could send them back to them to be anodised.
Implication is that for OE correct they should be anodised - is that categoric anyone?

Correct, polished and then anodised from the factory

Except the black bits. They should be painted. Silvery bits anodised, black bits painted.
Get Nick Moss or Canford Classics to do them, not JZM.
