Work looks great, well done, although, I'm not a fan of white... Very 90s looking to me. I too would be concerned with the longevity of this repair, especially going to get tires mounted by some retard working in a tire shop...
But again, the work looks awesome. I'd be interested in seeing more pics of the actual repair process as I'd be tempted to do this to my ZHP rims.

Thanks guys! 3 coats of paint and primer on each wheel. I did not want to go black bc that IMO is very 90s. Wanted to do something different than the standard silver. I dont really care about longevity as these will be seasonal tires. But FWIW guys, I had the oem paint chipping on these, my CSL rep wheels and my style 5s from crappy mechanics installing tires.
I will try to take pics of the repair process from the last two wheels as I am starting on them today.

Word, sounds good. And yeah, I have to be honest, if a tire installer chipped OEM paint when putting on tires, I'd be having them pay to get the wheels refinished professionally. I worked at a tire shop back in the day... There is no reason for tire installation to chip paint..Originally Posted by S85FTW

Looks awesome.
Also, how did the wheel on your M turn out?

Didn't come out perfect but looks a ton better. I am going to have to take the wheels off of the car to get them to look right. Will probably do it this week.
