I did my bbs wheels last year. They are a pain to paint, I found it easier to thin the paint a bit more than usual and put more coats on.

Look like pretty decent rims to start with. Finishing in the usual Polaris silver?

Yes mate, used the last tin of my Halfords Polaris Silver cans on them. Then switched to my 2 cans I got
off the net. Luckily I tried them on the rear of a rim, Polaris Blue! Ooops!
They sent the wrong colour!

Have you got the centres? They come up really nice, especially with new BMW badges fitted.
