A short question guys. Is Bright Sparkle Silver the right colour for my E46 B3 wheels?

Hi Jolls

I've had both my B10's and D5's wheels done at Lepsons in the last 12 months and went with AWI Silver as the closest match to Alpina paint.

My B10 wheels were refurbed with centre caps also painted, while the D5 only the wheels were done. The colour match with the D5 centre caps (new) is 100%, so from that I can say the AWI is the closest silver to Alpina factory finish.

Metrics thank you for the detailed reply. I will also use Lepsons when the time comes.

Any time. I've been over the moon with mine, finish is better than new (flatter, like glass).
