There are a bunch of places in the states that will do it for about $100 a wheel. I'm looking into it for another application.

Wow, that's beautiful. White is one of the nicest colors for Z cars, too. It just looks really good on this body style.

Looking good dude!

I like the simplicity of your yellow towel, but have you thought about buying one of those carpet dash covers? I see them on eBay for less than $50. I'm planning on buying one, cuz even if it isn't perfect, it's still gonna look better than my dash ever could LOL (I got a high mileage base Corsica from an old-lady)

Ron are you meaning Alberta wheel? I've had good experiences with them when I used them, but I was using them when I worked at the dealership which was quite a while ago.

YES!, I took my g8 wheel to them and they had shards of metal all over the edges still, as well they didn't clear coat the rim. I went in and talked to Santos and he got really upset with me and claimed I had no idea what Im talking about. Needless to say, he came out and had a look at the rim and said "OH". But never an apology etc. Rim took over a month. I just ended up spending the $500 on a new one from the dealer.

I will not take the beretta rims to him. Im certain they will come out worse than before they went in,

The polish and interior shampoo with scotch guard was $300.
Well worth the money for me!

James is right. I'm pretty anal about my cars and in perticular this one due to the low miles and condition. Almost impossible to find anymore.

I love driving the red one also.

I just need to find a set of mint Z26 rims. I'd be willing to pay a grand for them if anyone has a mint set!
I found this site searching for a deal on some 17 in. Audi TT 5 spoke wheels, and they seem to have good deals on all beretta wheels. Check em out!

Is the mileage in you sig really in miles, or is it in KM's? The white one looks like it has much less than 60k miles on it, and the red one looks great for 100k too. Nice Z's
