I'm a fan of RH cups, think they suit a 6N2 well. What size are yours?

Get some pics up!

Its like the finish on RX2s originally. They are cut on a special lathe which cuts into the surface of the metal creating very lines and a rather distinct finish. The silver inside where the black is on these wheels show it:

they use a special machine which shaves some of the alloy metal off and then lacquer it to create a deep, perfectly cut shiny finish lol
