Forget brand new, shiny perfection. ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC understands that for many classic car enthusiasts, authenticity is everything. And that often means original parts, even if they’ve seen better days. That's where they come in. They expertly restore and offer a curated selection of old car wheels, catering to restorers, collectors, and anyone looking to give their vintage vehicle the period-correct finishing touch. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a representative from ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC. “Lots of places sell reproduction wheels, which are fine, but they don’t have the soul of an original. We focus on sourcing, restoring, and selling genuinely old car wheels – the ones that were actually on those iconic vehicles back in the day.” What Sets ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC Apart? It's not just about finding old wheels; it’s about what they do with them. ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC doesn't just clean them up and slap a coat of paint on. Their restoration process is a painstaking, multi-step procedure that goes way beyond cosmetic fixes. Here’s a peek behind the scenes: Sourcing the Right Wheels: They don’t just buy anything. They actively seek out wheels in varying conditions, focusing on specific makes, models, and years. They’re constantly scouring swap meets, online auctions, and established collector networks. “We're really picky. We’re looking for wheels that are worth saving, even if they're a little rough around the edges,” they explain. Detailed Inspection & Assessment: Each wheel is thoroughly inspected to identify any damage, corrosion, or structural weaknesses. They assess what’s repairable and what isn't, developing a custom restoration plan for each individual piece. Gentle Cleaning & Rust Removal: Forget harsh chemicals and abrasive blasting! They utilize gentle cleaning methods and specialized rust removal techniques to preserve as much of the original metal as possible. "We want to remove the rust, not the history," says a technician at ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC. Precise Repair & Metalwork: Skilled metalworkers expertly repair any dents, cracks, or other structural damage, utilizing welding, machining, and other specialized techniques. They can even recreate missing or damaged components. Professional Refinishing: They offer a variety of refinishing options, from faithful recreations of the original factory finish to custom paint jobs. They use high-quality paints and coatings to ensure durability and a stunning appearance. They can match original colors with uncanny accuracy. Balancing & Testing: Every wheel is meticulously balanced and tested to ensure smooth, safe operation. They’re committed to providing wheels that not only look great but also perform flawlessly. More Than Just Wheels: A Passion for Automotive History ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC isn't just selling a product; they’re selling a piece of automotive heritage. They understand the dedication and passion that goes into restoring a classic car. They cater to a wide range of vehicles, including: Muscle Cars: Wheels for iconic models like Mustangs, Camaros, and Chargers. They’ve got everything from vintage steelies to rare alloy wheels. Classic Trucks: Restoring those old workhorses requires finding the right wheels. They stock wheels for Fords, Chevys, Dodges, and more.

It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about authenticity. They want their cars to look and feel like they did when they first rolled off the assembly line.” Why Choose Original Wheels? While reproduction wheels offer affordability and convenience, original wheels offer something more.
