Wheel Collision Center
Has anyone used these guys? From what I can tell from their website, they sell 16x9 Fuchs for $550 each. Is that for a new wheel or one that has been repaired? If a that is a new wheel price, it's about the same as a used prices. Seems like this would be the way to go.

I don't know if this rubs Pelican the wrong way, but if you want brand new 9's, call up Kenn Young at Reeves Import Motorcars.
http://www.reevesimportmotorcars.com/ He used to be the parts manager at Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte, N.C. Now he's running the Porsche parts show for Reeves. One heck of a guy. A more accommodating fella would be hard to find. He's the best. Last time I checked with him, he could get me new 9's for $625 a piece I believe. I'm a pretty nice guy, so maybe the price will be different for you......... ![]() ![]()

I have met the WCC guy when my parents lived in PA about 20 minutes from his door. Helluva nice guy and clean operation. He's got degrees from Harvard and MIT. When I owned a VW Corrado, my dad and I had several wheels repaired there. Stunning results. Caveat- this information is about 5 years old; I haven't seen any of their work lately but it was great last I checked.

Looks like some good prices. $350 for a 8x16? I sold mine for a lot more then that. I wonder what they charge for refinishing?

I've seen wheels that were sent to Wheel Collision Center. Couldn't tell they were damaged, looked good as new. If I was buying wheels from them, I'd want to see a 'before' picture. But I wouldn't think twice about sending my wheels there for repair.

They may be real? It would appear that he offers up a $25 exchange credit. I guess if you didn't get greedy, and paid $25 for exchange wheels, you'd have some room to make a few $.
