Alloy wheel refurb

Hi all,

Recently had a battle with a curb and the curb obviously came out victorious. I have the 442M which are diamond cut, this leads to a ridiculous turnaround time of about 5-7 days by most companies where I am based.

I was thinking of getting my alloy wheels powder coated and re-painted to a gray sort of colour. Probably not black.

Has anyone gone down this route? If so, any pictures for inspiration!?


Cheers in advance.

The curb has a perfect winning record vs any wheel.

Do you like you current wheels? I'd say just wait to get the wheel repaired.

Buy a new/ used one, swap it, fix the old one and resell it to recoup some money?

You might try posting on the UK regional forum - perhaps someone there has experience with a shop. Good luck! https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=412

Most dealers have a wheel guy who comes once a week. Mine is every weds for example.
