Do Chick's Dig Al Reed? With Pic

Al did a great job on my 16x6/7 wheels. Polished and hand painted crests. My wife says my car looks hot...thanks to Al. Just had my sway bar re- attached, thanks to everyones posts over the years, helped me self-diagnose. Also, added XM two weeks ago, for those days when the Porsche symphony isn't cutting it!

I don't know if chicks dig Mr. Al, but they always are attracted to a nice car. AFIC, wheels and tires make the car. Yours will do.

BTW, did Diane Reed paint your caps? She does an outstanding job.

Looks great! Al just did my wheels the same way and they turned out even better than I thought they would, he does fantastic work!

Yes, Diane hand-painted them. She is extremely talented, and they (Al and Diane) are both as nice as can be.

Polished rims and spokes look AMAZING on a black car. Congratulations!

Al charged me $120 per wheel to refinish in original, anodized, factory style a few months ago. For shipping, weigh the wheel in the box, measure it, and go to the UPS site for a quote. You're going to be around $600+ with shipping, I would guess.
