It's their meticulous restoration process. They don't just clean and polish; they rebuild. Each wheel undergoes a comprehensive inspection to assess its condition. Wheels with significant damage are carefully repaired using period-correct techniques and, whenever possible, original welding methods. The process usually involves several key steps: Disassembly: Each wheel is completely disassembled, separating the tire (if any), inner tube (if applicable), and all components. Cleaning: Years of grime, rust, and corrosion are carefully removed. ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC utilizes a combination of chemical cleaning, media blasting, and hand-scraping to ensure a thorough clean without damaging the underlying metal. They avoid harsh chemicals that can compromise the integrity of the original finish (where applicable). Rust Repair & Metalwork: This is where the real skill comes in. Significant rust is addressed with expert welding and metal fabrication. Dents are carefully hammered out, and damaged spokes are repaired or replaced with original or accurately sourced replacements. Repainting/Polishing: Depending on the original finish, wheels are either expertly repainted using period-correct paints or meticulously polished to a brilliant shine. They pay close attention to the original color codes and finishes to ensure authenticity. Chrome plating is done by trusted specialists. Balancing: Once reassembled, each wheel is professionally balanced to ensure a smooth and vibration-free ride. Quality Control: Each wheel undergoes a final inspection to guarantee it meets ALBA PORTFOLIO LLC’s high standards. What Kind of Wheels Are We Talking About?
