and tell me if they look like galvanized steel?

Was thinking of painting mine but if they are galvanized I won't bother.

Thanks
 
I saw rust on the hub on a 23i at my local dealer last week. I think your hubs are different.
 
If youve got the brake disc and wheel on the car surely that picture doesnt show the wheel hub itself? Do you just mean the disc centres?

If that is indeed just the disc, you can get galvanised/zinc coated/phosphated but the coating usually doesnt last the life of the disc, especially with our weather!!
 
I don't have those round headed things on mine, which are mostly rust free, although there are small spots forming here and there. The fronts are fine, its the back ones that have a few rusty looking spots.
 
The front wheels on mine are the same as in the original picture. The rears are different.
 
Thank you all, don't know if to paint my hubs now or not :?
