Morning BMW brethren,

I have 403m alloys on my car, which are diamond cut finished.
At some point in the future I'd like my wheels painted and not have to worry about that white worm corrosion, which seem common on alloys that have been diamond cut.

In terms of the new finish, I like the look of hyper silver.

Has anyone had their 403m or 442m wheels refurbed in hyper silver? Would be great to see how they turned out.

Cheers

Not those exact wheels, but similar finish.

Platinum Silver is a great finish too:

Nice these both look oem. Platinum silver looks very close to hyper silver.

403m look good in a smoked chrome finish or if you want to go a bit different satin gunmetal grey.

Paints is just the standard sapphire black. Want them to really pop in the sun.

Smoked chrome is your friend
