Hi all, want to refurbish centre caps on my BBS wheels. The alloy of the wheels are all OK but the centres are looking a bit worn. What colour silver is it to match the silver of the alloys. I have seen it mentioned somewhere on the zone, but I have searched everywhere and just can't find any reference anywhere !!

Felgensilber ? Is there an English equivalent? Have checked on the web everywhere and all I can come up with is an alloy wheel paint made by Wurth that is supposed to be a match for Felgensilber and BBS wheels.......anyone used this product and if so is it a good match, thanks GDBN

Watch out, as when I went to the autostore to get some Felgensilber ( German for Wheel Silver ) for my centre caps, we found that there are two shades avaliable.

Caps are now sprayed with new badges and look great ! :thumb:

There are two types of silver, infact 3 theres the normal brilliant silver, Nagaro silver and a shade that comes in between Granite silver in think.
