Default What type of finish is this?

I saw this rims on CL forum, but I don't know where.
Anyway, attached is a picture of Strasse Forged R10 wheels.
I like to know what type of finish it has and is still available to purchase?
I know Strasse Forged offers brushed aluminum? Any differences?
Thanks

That finish to the polished surface was attained using a old trick; I forget what tool or abrasive you use, but you basically spin circles into the surface using your hand (maybe a power drill attachment too...MAYBE).

Its a industrial machined brush finish.
I'm surprised Mariano hasn't commented on this thread.

Thank you for the quick responds. Was this finish done by Strasse Forged company or by a local shop?

Personally, I think those finishes are best left up to steel metal dashes in drag cars. Give me a nice and clean polished look for me all day long!

Those are my wheels and Strasse Forged did them. My understanding was that they didn't want to do that way anymore. There are only a few sets like this. It's called a Heave Machine Finish. If you would like to see more pics of my car you can view them here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...hy-thread.html
