I'd like to find some for the BBS wheels. When the factory wheel weights were removed, they left marks on the wheel

Might be a good time to repaint all 4 a custom color? I repainted mine gold (Duplicolor Universal Gold) but I first fixed all the curb marks with red Bondo putty. PM me if you want more details.

i doubt they will chip its just the edge of the rim, id rather have isssues with that than the whole rim, ive seen powder coated rims chip, not worth it to me.

i took mine to the dealer after the weights left scratches... they took them to a local rim guy, i guess he sanded them down, recoated them or something, they look flawless.

Hi,

It has been posted before, but for the BBS wheels try using some Testors model masters paint color is gunship gray. You should be able to find it at any hobby shop in your area or online http://www.ehobbies.com/tes1723.html What I understand is that the color amost matches perfectly.
