Thanks for the feedback regarding silver colour of BBS centre caps. Have just sprayed two caps with Felgen Silber only to find that the silver colour is a flat grey silver finish compared to the rest of the wheel. Other suggestions were Polaris Silver or Nogaro Silver. Need a silver that is more grey silver metallic than Felgen Silber.....any suggestions from anyone who has resprayed centre caps for 1992 car with BBS wheels.

i found an old thread and the factory colour for the bbs alloys were 060 polaris, so did wheels and center caps and the colour was exactly the same as when i started, except for the rusty flakey bits :wink:
