Wheel Re-Finishing / Repair - 575M

No experience, but I have had a lot of wheels done. Most shops do the minimal required so when a soccer mom looks at her freshly repaired Highlander at the collision shop they look fine to her from 6 feet away. I’ve had more bad work than good.

 

Had them refinish the wheels on my 430 a few years back. My car was in for service at Scuderia Performante and they actually use them for all wheel repair and refinishing. I was happy and they are very reasonable

 

My pleasure Rick,
I wonder if we ever met back in the glory days when Algar and Francis used to put together those morning drives to Reading for the Ferrari concourse events.

 

I actually purchased 2 reconditioned front 19” modulars from them about 11 years ago for $750.00 each! Those days are long gone…….
They are perfect and I run them on my 99’ 550.

Boy did you get a steal!
I suspect they had no idea what they were worth and most like priced them the same as the standard 575 wheel.

 

BTW That’s a pretty color combo on your 550.

 

Wheel Collision Center has a great reputation in the Porsche community. 3 piece wheels are really difficult to do right, be super clear about your standards no matter where you take them.

 

Thanks Ferris Bueller! Collision Center still show them on their website. $750 for fronts and $950 for rears, but they don’t have them of course.
On another note, the reason my car is in a Maserati Dealership, they were having a Charity Car show that’s part of the Pittsburgh Vintage Gran Prix and they draw a couple hundred cars at 150 each. So my car is sitting right in front of the Raffle Table where attendees would enter their bids on the clip boards for the respective items on the table.
At about 2:00 pm a woman comes rushing up to me shaking her ticket in front of my face and very excitedly said, “I Won, I Won, I Won, I Won”. I said “ just as excitedly, Great! What did you win?” She said “ I won your car, I won your car!!!. Of course you can imagine my jaw dropped and the next words out of my mouth. Turns out her girl friend put her up to it and I could see her in the back ground laughing A$$ off. I thought maybe someone crossed out the Wood Mixing Bowl for Auction and wrote in Ferrari Maranello.
It was certainly worth a good laugh. Note to self…… Don’t place your car directly in front of the Raffle Table.
