    What color should I refinish my M135 BMW 330 ZHP wheels??

    It was a sad day for the ZHP.

    I did some serious curbing on my front passenger side wheel. Evidently I parked too close to the curb on my friends driveway (which happens to be belgium block) and when I tried to reverse to the left and turn around (which I always do) the wheel made contact with the belgium block making the worst scraping noise I've ever heard.

    The damage is pretty bad. Multiple chunks and long scrapes along the outside of the rim.

    I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. I was planning on getting them refinished soon anyway since all four wheels are in pretty sad shape. Now its time to pick a color.

    Choices:
    Gun metal
    OEM Silver
    Matte Gun metal
    Matte Black

    What do you guys think? Feel free to throw in some pics or ideas if you have any.

    OEM silver. Why don't you just buy one refinished wheel? Pictures? A lot is repairable when it comes to wheels.

    All four wheels are in pretty sad shape because the previous owner lived in the city. I figured I would just get them all done at once.

    I couldn't take any pics since its dark out, I'll have some up tomorrow morning.

    On the OEM wheel, I'd stick with OEM silver. My 2cents.

    I like the OEM silver with your car as well.

    Seems like the general consensus so far is OEM silver. Thats what I'm leaning towards since I know for a fact it will look good, but I'm still interested in seeing a ZHP with gunmetal/anthracite 135m's. I think a TiAg sedan with gunmetal rims and a 20% tint might look amazing

    OUCH...that IS bad! Two of mine have some rash also but not as bad as yours. I'm still debating on how to fix them or maybe buy a new set and sell mine. I really should have done something with them before I installed new tires.

    I gotta agree, OEM silver. IMO a darker color on your TiAg wouldn't look as good but I'm no fan of darker wheels in general.
