original finish of mahle 4 lug wheels (baby gas burner)

[nicolas]

i am looking at how original wheels were finished from the factory. paint (what colors?) i think only grey, but what grey or are they adonized? and did the lip or spokes get a polish from the factory. i think not.


thank you

I think they were painted silver (libe the 5-lug Mahle's)

Check this thread, there are a lot of infos about 914 wheels : http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=8a5b931ce7631696d78c96cc0faee471&showtopic=74857

...and why we detail our wheels - forget the fact that they look better in satin black with a polished rim and spokes, it's mainly just to piss off the Porsche purists!
