Flaking Mercedes Factory Wheels
by Tim Gowens
What's the best thing you can do to improve the look and performance of your car? Ask just about anybody and you'll hear "Wheels and Tires".
How do you make that pre-owned Mercedes look like new? Do something about those faded and pitted wheels! Mercedes has some of the best brakes in the industry but that brake dust will pit the wheels if left there for several heat cycles.
Are repainted or repaired wheels as good as new? Yes, Perhaps even better. There was a rumor that Mercedes used a primer that would not hold up to the heat that the wheels generated, thus over time the paint peals or flakes off, leaving your expensive Mercedes looking like it just rolled out of the junk yard. Metro wheels can blast off the old paint and polish or repaint the wheels back to the original beautiful finish.
Metro wheels repair department is now under the leadership of the former owner or Rennsport wheel repair in Roswell Georgia. In addition to being the owner of Rennsport, Robb is an avid competitor in both SCCA and PCA events in his 944 Porsche. This family owned business has been a leader in the alloy wheel repair/refinishing business for many years. Although capable of servicing virtually all marquees, they specialize in Porsche, BMW, and of course Mercedes-Benz. Learn a bit more of what Metro wheels accomplishes in their wheel repair process.
Metro wheels stocks virtually all Mercedes-Benz wheels. They can either provide a "core-exchange" for those in a rush or turn around your exact wheels in about a week. Through the use of "TIG" welding with tungsten inert gas, Metro can match the alloy composition of any alloy wheel. This is especially important when repairing curb damage or other dings. With the capability to handle up to 26" wheels and a refinishing process that produces results that could be called fine artwork, Metro can handle all your wheel repair needs. In addition to their Contours quality wheel repair and refinishing Robb also can supply you with new tires to go with your wheels. To further compliment the services mentioned. Metro offers complete "no touch" balancing of your old tires or a fresh set of tires. High speed on the car balancing is also available for those more finicky customers. For the Mercedes-Benz fan that wants the best for their wheels, or someone debating buying new wheels Metro wheels offers a very attractive option.
