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:

so basically it is the use of a diamond cutter to cut metal for a shiny silver finish...like 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

does anyone know the centre bore on rh cups? et50 15" 7j ? would it be 64.3? or 71.4 or whatever the ones that are close to that are as my spacers are 57.1 so thats a fair bit of movement
