Magro Wheel Story

hello everyone....i recently had Alex Magro restore some 7/9's i had bought....they were originally off a 1986 turbo and were white with some curb damage and general uglieness.....I told him there was no rush and he delivered my wheels back in about 60 days....I felt the need to post this after i read some Magro bashing a while back...these wheels came back looking like jewelry! Wow! i cant believe the amazing job he did on the wheels! And at a really reasonable price.....People seem to always ***** when they are unhappy and not praise enough when a job is well done..i would recommend Alex Magro to anyone looking to get wheels restored

thanks Alex mike

Thanks, looking forward to some pics. I've been kicking around having mine refinished but only have the street wheels so it becomes a PITA project from my perspective.

Had a set of wheels done by Alex about 5 years ago he did a great job. Nice guy to. It didn't hurt he was less than an hour away either when I lived in Orlando.
