    What exactly do you mean by "factory specs", or better yet, what seems to be the problem?

    Fred had his 360CS wheels refinished someplace down there, and they did a great job. I'll find the name shortly.

    I think what he means is to have the wheels cleansed of the paint and refinished factory style. Looking at the post about the 360 perhaps to trade in ?

    From the photo it looks pretty darn good the way it is.

    No, Im not looking to trade her in and buy a 360. Id much rather have my 328. I just want to return the factory wheels to their factory color.

    Contact Turbax in Miami/Homestead. Talk to Sergio, the Manager. Tell him Fred, the guy who had his Ferrari wheels done graphite color a few years ago sent you.

    I spent about 2-3 full days investigating and personally visiting each and every wheel repair/refinishing place in the tri-county area when I was looking to have my wheels redone. Most of the major dealers use Turbax, and there's a good reason why. The have an entire machine shop, tons of equipment to do the job right, and were awesome to deal with each step of the way.

    Several other people here used them after me, and I believe they were all happy as well.

    Do you have an idea of what the cost would be to do all 4 wheels?

    Most places are around $150 per wheel last time I checked.

    There is an outfit in Broward called "Touch of Class", the name of the guy is Jim Lambert and he does a pretty good job.
    He usually works for the dealers, but if you call him he will come to you.
    You chan google him or I will find his # once I get to my office.

    Sorry, the name of the company is Classic Touch and the # is 954 254 5955.
    I have used him a couple of times and he does a good job.

    Have them powdercoated, just did a set for my BMW and they look fantastic and they seem to repel the brake dust a little better.
