The Jeweler.....
Recently I was fortunate to acquire a couple of sets of very straight genuine 7R's which I've matched with Deep 6's and took these to Biagio Chrzanowski who magically transformed them from this......
....to this .....
.....I decided to go with a regular finish on this set with Biagio now refurbing the second set in a racing (RSR) finish as per my originals......and not only the finish that's new as I decided to give these a try ....
....although looking a little like truck tyres compared to the Avons I was a tad concerned if they'd fit....
....interesting to compare the worn Avons with new CN36 and CR6ZZ.....
....car now looking fab again .....
Not had a real chance to try the Pirelli's yet although looking forward to comparing them against the Avons which I love.
Have to say a huge thanks to Biagio who's work is absolutely sublime and very authentic
If anyone is looking for some top end Fuchs now's the time to catch him as he currently has finished sets of every size available from......and if you need a set refurbished I couldn't recommend Biagio highly enough, top end work at a fair price......oh, and he's also about two years quicker than other people I could mention!
Cheers Biagio, you are indeed a Master Jeweler

Re: The Jeweler.....
Hi Darren
Looking good.
Tubeless? Did you do the machining to make the valve easier to seat, or have you found a source of suitable stubby valves?
Cheers, Richard.

Re: The Jeweler.....
No modification and tubeless Richard.
I had purchased a batch of valves although these proved to be a fraction loose, fortunately the tyre fitters had a few old valves kicking around in a drawer that did the trick. Be warned, not all stubby TR415 valves are the same!

Re: The Jeweler.....
Excellent work Darren. Wheels look great.
I bought some Italian ‘TR415’ valves which proved to be too thin too. Fortunately have some fat ones to do one more set. Thanks for the heads up on Biagio’s workload.

Mike

Re: The Jeweler.....
They look great and so does the car! Look forward to your review of the tyres and how they compare to the Avon’s.
The force is strong in this one ......

Re: The Jeweler.....
I think it varies Clive and can sometimes be many months however Biagio mentioned that he'd been working flat out in recent months to clear a backlog and is now well on top of things......he promised he'd have the wheels I dropped of last week ready for my first rally in Septemberanglophone1 wrote:Looks lovely- how much time/notice needed Darren?
