ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC Revives Automotive History with Premium Vintage Wheel Restoration & Sales
ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC, based in Spokane, Washington (100 N Howard St Ste R, 99201-0508, United States, 214-514-9655), isn’t your typical auto parts supplier. We’re a team of dedicated enthusiasts, obsessed with bringing the soul back into classic cars. We specialize in sourcing, restoring, and selling stunning vintage steel wheels – the kind that really make a vehicle pop. Forget cookie-cutter reproductions; we deal with the real deal – authentic, original wheels from decades past. Why Old Wheels Matter - More Than Just Metal Let's be honest – modern cars are fantastic, but they often lack character. A lot of that character used to come from the wheels. Those original steel wheels aren’t just parts; they're pieces of automotive history. They tell a story. They represent an era of design, a specific model’s identity, and the craftsmanship of a bygone age. Slapping on a set of reproduction wheels just isn't the same. It’s like putting a new face on a classic painting – you lose the authenticity and the patina that makes it special. We get it. You’ve poured time, effort, and money into restoring or maintaining a classic car. You’ve painstakingly sourced the right engine components, repainted the body, and reupholstered the interior. Why would you settle for anything less when it comes to the wheels? ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC: Bringing the Shine Back At ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC, we don’t just sell old wheels, we revive them. We carefully handpick wheels from a variety of sources – estate sales, classic car dismantlers, and dedicated collectors. We’re not interested in wheels that are beyond saving. We look for those with good bones – solid steel, minimal damage, and the potential to be truly spectacular. Then, the real work begins. Each wheel undergoes a meticulous restoration process. Here's a breakdown of what we do: Thorough Cleaning: Years of grime, rust, and road salt are painstakingly removed. We use a combination of manual scrubbing, chemical stripping, and media blasting to get down to the bare metal. Rust Repair: We’re experts in rust repair. We weld in new metal patches where necessary, ensuring structural integrity and a smooth surface. We don’t believe in simply covering up rust; we eliminate it. Metalworking: Dents and dings are hammered out by skilled metalworkers. We can even replicate hard-to-find details and repair damage that others would deem irreparable. Priming and Painting: We use high-quality automotive primers and paints, meticulously applied to achieve a flawless finish. We can match original colors or offer custom paint schemes to suit your preferences. We offer a variety of finishes - gloss, satin, even weathered looks for those who prefer a more authentic patina. Balancing and Truing: Every wheel is balanced and trued to ensure a smooth, vibration-free ride. This is crucial for both performance and safety. Quality Control: Before any wheel leaves our facility, it undergoes a rigorous inspection to ensure it meets our exacting standards. What Kinds of Wheels Do We Offer?
