Welcome, but yes, only an email.

what exactly do they do, and is there a link on FL that I can view their services?

I've been able to ascertain one answer. They are located in Northern Virginia.

Perhaps this clandestine approach is intended...like a treasure hunt.

NOVA works for me. didn't really think this rollout through? welcome anyway and thanks for sponsoring the site. I'm tired of looking for their info and it is wheeley sad because this could have been a blowout. On balance though, i have to say anyone that would lug around stuff is nuts. But i will tread lightly so as not to be flat out negative. of course i do hope they will have a good year

I am proud to say I am one of their happy customers. When I bought my 19" modular 575M wheels for my 550, Wheels On Site helped me get the nicks and scratches out of them and mounted new Michelin tires on them for me. I ordered the new tires online from The Tire Rack and had them shipped to their shop. They also got me 4 new Ferrari logo wheel inserts from Ricambi America.

When the 575M wheels & tires were reconditioned, mounted, and balanced, I drove my 550 in one day and we did the swap from the stock 18" wheels and tires. It was like a race car pit stop. Instant results.

Obviously, they spend more time working their magic on cars than their website.

Also, I saw a few Ferraris in there getting their brake calipers painted a different color, e.g. from black to yellow. The end result looks just like the factory calipers.

Here is a pic of my 550 with the modular 19" wheels on it.

Really looks great Ron! You may want to upgrade the brakes to the F40 Brembos like I did on my TR. Richard did the conversion for me.

The bigger, cross-drilled Brembo brakes will result in fewer road kills and complement the wheels nicely.

It's nice to have professional automotive resources and FL sponsors in our own backyard.

Good people, good pricing, good service (fascinating in both application and idea,) and unbelievable results. I've seen wheels that most would have thrown away come back better than new.

Anyone with a BMW or Merc will love this service. Their process completely eliminates the caustic brake dust issue and makes the wheels easy to keep clean.
