996 Chrome Wheels Flaking
Blake replied to jtwright's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
You may be right, but on the other hand, I've heard a lot of compliments about my wheels over the years. Guess it's just personal preference, God's involvement is probably very small. :P Allen To be correct, these wheels are NOT chromed. Yes, they look like it and maybe that's all that matters to most people. But, Porsche does not chrome wheels from the factory. Chroming a wheel compromises the structeral integrity. Allen, do you know what process WheelTech used in duplicating the "look" of the wheel? -
996 Chrome Wheels Flaking
Blake replied to jtwright's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have some new info regarding these wheels. Mine have started flaking and I'm looking into some new wheels. I contacted Dave at Wheel Enhancement about buying some wheels and possibly having my originals refinished. Dave says that the factory finish can't be duplicated. He says it's a Mylar laminate over a resin base (the reddish undercoating). I've never heard of this process for a wheel and wonder if anyone else has any experience with refinishing these wheels.
