Where can I send a wheel for refinish?

May get a better response by posting in the regions section...

 

I'm sure there is someone closer to do this, but you could send it to Ferrari of Atlanta and they can fix it. They charge about 100 per wheel to make them perfect. They have guys that come from somewhere else and do them, but they do really good work.

 

Mark runs the service there, ask for him.

 

Geno- Here is another alternative with a nation-wide reputation.

Ye Olde Wheel Shop
6363 Washington Blvd.
Elkridge, MD 21227
410-796-8400
800-526-8260

funny. they usually send the wheels to either magnum or wheel wizard. bypass the middleman.

 

+1
I spoke with Dan there several weeks ago based on recommendations here and came away impressed. His price estimate for a 'concours' finish was very reasonable IMO and, most importantly, he understood what I was looking for.

 

Yes, I know that they have someone else come in and do them. Since he is going to mail it off and trust what comes back, I think this is the best option. What you get with FOA is someone to manage the process that knows what the wheel should look like. If you just send it off to someone who may have 400 Kia rims along with yours, you may get whatever quality he feels like turning out that day. I'm sure these guys value the relationship with FOA and this is what you pay extra to get.
Having said that, I've never heard of either of those companies turning out bad work. I just like to pay extra for my lack of involvement in things like this...

 

Don't care who says what including FOA...pics speak for themselves

Hello Bruce, I hate to ask but were you ever able to get any resolution about your wheel issue?

 

Nope....nothing but an SOL email

 

i got news for you... magnum collision (as well as doing them themselves) and most of all the other shops also send wheels to the wheel wizard to get fixed. butler tire and most of the dealerships also. they are they only place in town that i know of that has digital lathes and various other equipment to fix bent, curbed wheels. it all depends how much work is required. buckhead collision and pirkle can also do wheels if all you need is a paint job.

fwiw, i sent a wheel to magnum and didn't think they did a great job. i took it to WW to get it perfect.

when i send a wheel in i expect it to return as "NEW" front to back.

 

This is why you use someone like FOA. Your dealing with a very established Ferrari dealer and not someone who put together enough cash to buy a van and a wheel finishing franchise. I haven't heard of anyone who says the service at FOA has F***ed them over. They may be expensive but they have gone out of their way several times for me.
I wouldn't worry about it, and I've seen several 355 wheels come out of there perfect and stay perfect.

 

Nothing against FOA...they use a sub contractor and I'm sure the warranty is very very limited.

You can use a refinisher that does top notch work and is willing to stand by it for lifetime...quality and integrity doesn't cost anymore

Old post, I know, but is this still the best recommendation for a 355 wheel refinish? I have 4 that really could use some help.

 

I've sent many people to NJB Automotive in Westerville , OH. I don't know who does the work for them, but lots of satisfied customers.

 

What about our sponsor Bradan?

They are more than familiar with the process to protect the magnesium.

 

I've had a few sets of challenge wheels redone by Ferrari of Houston, they have an in-house paint shop and are very good with magnesium. Flawless end result every time.

 

NJB v good. Also wheel medic in columbus do terrific work. They did mine and very service oriented.

Ask for jack at NJB or Bryce at wheel medic. With either, you can tell them Ed sent you...
