Speedline refurb

[Ferry Man]

OK, let's not be coy. I've got one of the finest 993RS's. All original paint & panels, nice specification. Full OPC history. Several noteworthy & caring owners. But my wheels were a shade off the mark.
So if you aspire to THE finest RS you've got to have good wheels.[]

I've got invoices for pretty much every bit of work done on my car going back to day one and I'm certain that the Speedlines are the original to the car.
But they'd suffered the usual blemishes around the bolts. The laquer had split around the bolts and some corrosion had got under and started the familiar crazing.
So I decided to refurbish them.

This is how they looked before work commenced:

The wheels were in pretty good shape. The 'kerbing' shown in this shot was about as bad as the actual rim got. Mostly it was the problem with corrosion around the bolts.

 

[Ferry Man]

The wheels were re-done by Adrian Rowlands. He was recommended by several people in the know and I have to say I'm very impressed with the results.
Here's what was returned to me....
Cool. []

Some detail shots of the inners. Note part number, correct date stamps, and weights thoughtfully applied on the inside. Nice work.

 

[Ferry Man]

Note the wonderful shiney finish. Not overly 'polished and bright' but - to my eyes - quite correct. Not as 'dull' as anodised. I believe they may be stove enamelled but Adrian has his secrets. The bolt heads are protected with that finish as well.

All etchings correctly applied too...

So, thanks Adrian. I'm delighted.
