i dont want them to be a different color. it must be a shade of silver. when i originally got the wheels they were like a "sparkling silver" which i changed for a normallish silver.

so let me re-phrase, what shade of silver is the best color to spray?

Most E30 wheels are Polaris Silver so that would bw the best match probably?

Hi.
BMW use a colour that is just called "wheel silver" or in german felgensilber.

And don't have them black like mine ...

But I am still not sure if they were originally painted BMW silver. The centre caps from a Hartge and a BBS seem to be slightly different shades. I asked Hartge in Germany for the paint code and was told " there isn't a paint code ".
