Anyone know what paint colour is used on BBS wheels? Been doing a bit of Goggling, and so far I have one reference to it being Polaris 060.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

not sure about actual colour code but just had mine done, as you can see they painted the inner bits and polished the rim. i can find out what colour this is if you want?

Wow, thay look good. Did they spray the caps too? I presume if the caps were done, a prefect colour match doesn't matter (unless you ever have to replace them)

Yeah I believe its Felgensilber 51.91.1.900.344, but the dealers wont sell it to you - they only order it for their workshops
Or so I've been told the 2 times I tried to order it :-x
Cheers,

No the centre caps are the standard BBS 3D logo ones, I will get some more pics with the BBS centre caps on, the nut holding on the caps was also polished.

As for the paint code of 060 you should be able to go to any paint suppliers and request a colour chart and see what colour 060 is. i wil find waht colour my lads used..
