DazzaF Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Being quite new to the M3 scene, forgive me if it is a stupid question, but here goes anyway!! I have a set of 19" Rims on my car and they look more highly polished compared to all other pictures / posts I have seen. Including the inside of the wheel, which also does not look as dark as other cars.... Is there another set of wheels out there that I should know about and how much are they ? Are they BMW standard....they all look to have the BMW badge on them. This is really annoying me as the ones I have seen all look al ot better than mine... even looked at the Top Gear M3 vs S4 download and it looked like the wheels on that M3 were also a lot better / darker looking. I did see the post on the Shadow spray...Is this what it is ?? Can BMW do this for me or is it better that I buy new wheels. Not the best photo attached I know, but take it from me the inside of the wheel is not as dark as it looks in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagoo Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 DazzaF, Is your M3 brand new? The reason i ask is that your wheels may have been refurbished in the past! The M3 rim (19")finish is near on impossible to match so your previous owner may have had the entire set refurbished in order to achieve a uniform look!

DazzaF Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks for all your help chaps... do think that the wheels may well have been previously refurbished....Now thinking about a set of CSL wheels as they look really nice. Anyone know how much these will set you back ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
