This post can be deleted thank you

Sorry to be a cheap skate but i just thought i'd do a post on the off chance that anyone on here had some of these for sale or was thinking of going after market soon and might want to sell their set? It's the design in the middle labelled No.2 i'm after.



Must be original, not refurbished. Already been down that road and these wheels do not refurbish easily or well. Even if you're careful BMW explained to me the metal under neath the outer coating is softer and leaves tiny hairline scratches when diamond cut, and if you go too deep you can also lose some of the black line that makes up the 'W' look.

I recently had my 444's refurbished (No.3 design on the right) and ran into the same problem, i ended up having to add a colour to cover up the tiny hairline scratches, i went for a shade of gunmetal grey reminiscent of the new M4 wheels. I actually quite the look of them but i've been wanting the '470 W spoke' wheels with the larger tyres for a while now.

Thanks
