Thinking of giving my bbs alloys a refurb! My e30 is alpine white so was thinking of anthricite centers and a polished lip.

Keen to see what you guys have done with yours? does anyone have an alpine white e30 with similar wheels to what i have planned?

Cheers, Scottidog

This was my old bus. Rims and centre nut were painted silver and the rest was black. Went with the painted option as I was doing 20k a year then and polished lips would've been a serious pita.

Anthricite... The wheel refurbers said its so close to 'Nogaro' it would hardly notice... And they were right... :)

Are you gonna refurb them yourself or get a company to do it?

Have 8 bbs wheels but not sure if i have 4 that are perfect enough to polish the lips and they not look shit cos of minor curbing. So tiny amounts of ally filler and paint is the way to go with me!

Nope. SwissVax Autobahn Wheel wax is your friend.

Scotti, mine had more than a little minor kerbing.
Just took my time and sanded all the dints out.
