Well lads, Im going to gt my wheels refurbed and was looking to see if anyone knew the name of the colour or paint code that BBS used on the replacement wheels that they changed under warranty?

My car being reflex silver i dont want them painted LA7W, i was thinking audi avus silver or else Ford '62' / Moondust Silver? Anybody any opinions?

Good thinking Kev, Been really thinking about it but not completely sold on them? I dont know why because generally i love black wheels on a silver car? Had this as my wallpaper the last 2 weeks to try help the decision, what do you think?

I'd stick with the silver Shaun, RC's look a bit lost in darker colours.
I think there was someone on here got theirs refurbed with a kind of metal flake silver, looked pretty funky!

Cheers TD, Nice colour that, looks similar to the RC colour, Mine are medium silver at the min, done by wheel wheel doctor a few months ago but looking for a different colour now for the summer.

It was stretchGTI that had them done, looked a really nice job, RobTDI was up one of the days dropping parts to mine and his are the non ball burnished finish and really suit the reflex silver it think?

Cheers Jeff I was onto you to get the wheels done already alright but I since got a look at a set of factory replacement Rc's and really liked the finished colour so want to get as close as I can to it? At the min I want L97A as it looks very close.

This is a pic of the finish on a Rc that wasnt done long ago.
I think it looks unreal for a powdercoat finish to be able to get that polished look.

The first sets they did were very like shadow chrome but there tweeking it everytime to make the finsh lighter and look more polished.
