Curbed rims and color codes:(

Does anyone know the color code for the stock bbs rims? I couldnt find it anywhere.... also has anyone had or have the same situation as i do? i curbed my rims and am very sad.

I live in the northern virginia area, and if anyone knows a good person who can repair rims back to 99.99% that would be great.

I would contact BBS for the actual code or just powdercoat them a different color. If you want a close match, go with whatever color code a grey 2008 Accord is because when I gave my old BBS' to my brother-in-law, it looked like a perfect match (with the exception of a little less glossy).

a company like wicked wheels or mobile wheel repair can probably fix it with a proper color match

I tired to get info on diamond black BBS rims. Mitsu and BBS were utterly useless. You'll need to find somebody skilled in matching because you'll get no help from the people who made it.

They look better than stock accord rims. Your avatar and post count are the only fail I see. OP you can easily get them paint matched at any decent shop.

I didn't know that "Fail" was directed towards me... They're only wheels. You're acting like I gave him my turbo or something.

Take one of the wheels to an automotive paint store.
They will usually have paint swatches available which they can use to get a pretty close match for you, if not the exact same color.

I would call around first to make sure they have swatches available for them to compare to the color on the wheel.

I really doubt there is going to be any other way to get that exact color code from the manufacturer.

There are a lot of reputable mobile repair guys out there. I used to have a friend who had a little portfolio of some work he had done for customers to take a look at. You should call around and see if someone can show you their work before doing the job if you are really concerned
