    Just bought a 355. The wheels are in ruff shape. Anyone have any local recommendations of shops that refinish magnesium wheels?

    Thanks

    Ed, Congratulations on your 355 purchase. Give Wheel Specialists in Tempe a call. Ask for Darren, he should be able to get you sorted.

    I took My wheels to wheel specialist in tempe. Been meaning forever to post what happened. First I was told 1 week. That turned into 4. Finally when done they looked like crap. Had a run in one wheel and pits that were not filled in two more. 6 months later I thought I had scratched one. Then more scratches showed up. Turns out these were cracks in the finish. I called them and they said they would fix them. I said I wanted them done right this time Their solution was to Charge me more money plus shipping to send them to someone in California. They last conversation we had was me asking for a credit for tires on one of my Porsches. No response. I have to say not impressed. If you have a vette sure take it there. But not a place i would take a Ferrari.

    I'm sorry to hear this especially since I recommended them to you. To say I'm stunned with your experience is an understatement. WSI has been doing all my wheel and tire stuff for 15 plus years. I've never had an issue with them, none! I'm very OCD/anal retentive when it comes to my stuff and they always meet or exceed my whacky demands for perfection. Through out the years I've seen McLaren F1's, Pagani Zondas and every other dream exotic in their shop. They are obviously doing something right. I sincerely hope you can get this mess sorted out. Have you spoken with Chris or Larry, the owners?

    I need to get some wheels refinished too. I'll probably try one of the recommendations in this thread and report back.

    I will be picking up my 355 wheels from Elwood Body Shop since most places in AZ will not touch the 355 wheels for fear of them being magnesium.

    Even Scottsdale Ferrari does not have a solid vendor to refinish wheels, especially mag wheels.

    what a stupid comment to make, Im guessing either my C8 or my wifes Porsche cost more than your 355. Im not impressed either.
