Looking for ONE (1) 16” wheel with the machined finish vs the grey. Any condition is fine as long as it is structurally sound. Plan to re-finish/machine to match my other good three which are also being re done.

Does anyone know if you can achieve the machine finish on the earlier Solaris Silver wheel or are they completely different ? Would need to match my existing wheels which are true 97-01 wheels.
Thanks
 
The wheel is the same technical spec - only the finish is different. A good wheel shop will be able to recreate the machined finish if you do start with a Solaris wheel but I would redo them all to be certain that they all look the same. I would also avoid buying a wheel with any deep gouges especially on the face where it will be machined. You can only remove a very minimal amount of material from the face before it becomes too thin and structurally unsound. More than one person has done this and results are not good.
