Stock rims? Brushed aluminum?

Guys,

My girlfriend moved my car in the driveway the other day and of course managed to curb a rim. I should have seen it coming.

Anyways, I want to get the rim fixed ASAP, and I'm wondering is the finish different than the standard BMW rims?

Good luck finding paint because it's not available in the US.

I'm pretty sure they are ferric gray, same color as mirror, which will probably be tough to find. I'm sure your girl didn't even notice. If you want it done right do it yourself, thats my motto when it comes to letting the girl drive my car.

Check the threads, some guy ripped the hell out of his and he took pictures not long ago. I've touched up many rims on BMW's before but I've searched the internet and this paint isn't in the US. If it's on the mirrors it's going to have to show up but it hasn't yet.

I got the paint from a Hong Kong retailer - the paint code is B55 ferric gray II. http://quiktouch.com/BMW-B55-touchup-paint
