When I sold my Roadster I kept the wheels they are 4 bolt and I don't need 4 bolt now.
So what So Cal guys want these? I would rather not ship them.

5 Mahle 914 Porsche/VW aluminum alloy rims. 4 are professionally polished by Romeros Custom Polishing in El Cajon, 5th wheel is unpolished with some road rash to use for spare tire.

The 4 polished wheels are straight and true, no road rash Excellent Condition/Show quality.

ISP billet hub covers and the correct original lug nuts w/chrome (plastic) lug covers.

Would like to sell locally, shipping not included. PP ok but added cost for fees. Located in San Diego

Price $725.00 or offer

Well hanging out at the computer this morning but Lilly the monitor ornament is hanging out in bed. That pic represents my hanging out attitude.

By the way, I lowered the price some on the Mahle's to $700.00 OBO
Remember this are authentic Porsche (914/VW) not Repop Empi's.

I could ship in CONUS (Continental United States) by Greyhound probable would cost around $50 to $100 max.
Cheers,
Dave

Good point, most don't realize how cheap it is to ship via Greyhound.

Outstanding polish job on rough cast wheels! Still trying to hand polish a set of 2L Fuchs! No finger nails or finger prints left!

I cant tell by the pic you posted if you have removed the annodizing (sp). If not, you must do this prior to polishing. I have heard that Easy Off will remove it. This wheel has about 10 hourn into it after the annodising was stripped (using good old oven cleaner). It was work. I would send them to Al Weidman. Last I heard he was getting 135-150 per wheel - and they are magnificient!!
Sorry for the thread jack...

Actually, $150 to polish out a set of Fuchs is a very decent price.

And, YES! It is a LOT of work!

Actually, Gordon, he said $135-$150 PER WHEEL. Seems a bit pricey to me.

And I'm guessing you have to supply the core wheel to be polished? $50 a wheel would be a bargain.

I did use oven cleaner to remove the overpainted black and the OEM annodizing. I suspect I have 6-8 hours in each wheel using sand paper, WD sand paper, air powered small buffer with scotch pad (purchased from vendor at Carlisle), and similiar buffing ball wirth jewlers rouge. I do have Mother's red wheel ball and polish but too early for that. Good enough for now - mounting tires and will go back for 10 appearance sitting in front of fireplace when it gets cols.
