I found the website for a refurbishing company that were recommended and was all set to get them to do my wheels until I found this picture of one they have done. Is it me or is the colour Cak? Or could it just be a bad picture?

being incredibly anal (as you know), that's not a proper BMW BBS is it?

However, is that BJV? I spotted them a while back and they sound good don't they? Have you got a personal recommendation?

If they do all the work they say they do, I'm sure it's the correct silver.

It's probably the angle - look at the other examples; they look great.

ps I'm tempted by their 'anthracite'.

I haven't got any in my collection stamped like it!
Yeah it is BJV, I asked a while back what refurbishing places people could recommend and Lepson's were most peoples choice but someone said they had been to BJV and were pleased. I found their website and it looked impressive, They have been running a good while and they are a little bit cheaper than Lepson's.

Be careful with bjv ( http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/index.htm ) i had 4 15" e30 bbs done by them last summer and the paint finish was very very average,to tell the truth i could of done better with a can of silver spray but i guess Ԛ£25 a wheel including caps was fair enough price for the mediocre finish.

BTW ive seen lepsons work close up,my cousins motorsport cab which is in the for sale section had hes motorsport wheels done by them and the work is first class 8)

Thanks for your post Hammer1. I won't be happy if it's not an excellent finish so Lepson's it is.
