Just ahead of advertising my car I am going to get two wheels refurbished to make the car perfect. I had a thought about doing all four in shadow chrome as an option , the darker colour, has anyone else done this on

If you are refurbing to sell I would go for standard as anything else would be your preference and not necessarily anybody elses.

This ^^ Plus I think shadow chrome wheels will look a bit lost on a grey car.

Why go to the extra expense? I would just concentrate on the two, do they need a full refurb or would you get away with a smart repair?

If its to sell +1 as above. Just get the 2 done and keep them silver.
If its for you then go for it, I have black on mine and wouldn't go back to silver!

Seeing as you will be putting the car up for sale - refurb the wheels to OEM silver.

Stay as is then , I may be able to just have a smart repair yes , albeit it does not seem much less cost than a full refurb. Two of the wheels are new thanks to BMW warranty so two to do to make it consistent .
Getting them done in next week and I will post my advert on here in around 10 days .

Thanks

i am having my newly acquired mv 2's refurbed in a grey powder coated with flecks and i think it will look rather good on steve, :D
but i agree with all concerned, there is nowt as strange as folk, so silver is favourite to appeal to the masses
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.

This post is morphing into a sales ad - once you decide on a price (soon please) you need to put it up in the buy and sell section. Cheers.
