Knock-off Wheel Patina
This is a picture from the Factory Five parts section on their website of a 289 wheel. They list it as a Trigo. Does anyone know what the finish of the center section is? Is it just raw aluminum?

Yes
It is simply rough finish aluminum in the center and a machined lip (not polished). I have a set each of these and the 427 style wheels and i prefer the FIA's for their finish as they are very very similar to the original FIA wheels. I have some detailed pictures of a set of original FIA wheels in the back of my galleries also. They are very similar other than some of the writing cast into them.
