They just look like silver on the cars but the wheel itself looks slightly darker

But I do want silver so if anyone has decent 19’s in silver for a swap I’ve got 24 hours before the firm collects my car
Your car, your choice of colour, don’t be listening to us lot :rofl: :rofl:
I listen to you all the time - you make me save money so SWMBO can spend it instead :rofl:
Don’t you worry, when the time comes I’ll encourage you to spend :rofl: and SWMBO will fall out with you. Not me when that happens :D

    Had to tell but that looks like shadow chrome?

    Are you taking the car to the wheel place, they normally have a wall showing what colours they do

    No im not taking it to them, they are coming to take my wheels off and and leave it on stands and coming back 2 days later, im not sure if you can tell but I’m a little nervous they will come back with some chrome spinners which is why im trying to ask what the correct colour code I should be instructing them to use.

        those photos youve posted look to be hyper silver or OEM Silver which is very simmlar to BMW Titan silver.

        I've had my latest wheels coated in hyper silver

        The BBS silver colours are Brilliant Silver or Platinum Silver, I prefer a darker silver, graphite or gunmetal

        Updated

        My wheels are off and with the sprayers to be painted hyper silver, whilst wheels are off I’ve painted the callipers too! Wheels due back tomorrow fingers crossed it’ll look nice, been having a nose under the arches and the springs say Eibach so that may save me another job, can’t think of anything else to look at while the wheels are off?
