M Coupe wheels paint color

RBull · 07-14-2010, 06:03 AM

I am considering having my wheels refinished. Does anyone on here know or have access to the factory color for a 2007 Z4M coupe wheel?

My stealer either doesn't know or won't disclose.

thanks

What type of finish are you doing, paint or powder?

I can't recall ever seeing wheel colour codes listed anywhere.
Can the shop do a colour match?

Paint.

You may be right which is probably why I haven't found it. Am checking out the match.

I was talking with the guys that did the ceramic on my exhaust about wheels.

He thinks any issue with failed wheels & powder coating is related to using product that requires too much heat.
Some powders require + 400° which can possibly anneal (sp) the metal and cause faults.
He was telling me they use product that gets heated in the +300° which is much safer for the wheels.

I was leaning to paint the same as you, now I'm having second thoughts about powder.

^Thanks. I'm very limited on sources for the work around here.
