    Has anyone had experience with Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA? I have spoken to them about re-finishing the OEM 19 inch 3-piece wheels on my 575 and considering using them.

    If you have used another wheel re-finishing company in the greater Philadelphia area that you would recommend, I would appreciate knowing that as well.

    Thank you

    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

    Thanks for the review, Dominic. It would appear my wheels will be in good hands with Wheel Collision Center. Now I just have to get the vehicle there from Naples, FL.

    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.

    Dominic,
    I never participated in any of those events as my car has generally been kept in Florida for most of my ownership.

    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.
