    Note, they were refurbished around two and a half years ago and have covered ~15,000 miles (including a few track days), which has resulted in a few minor chips.

    Hi mate hope your well

    sorry to bother you but been reading through your comments on your CSL wheel refurbs and my gosh do they look beautiful! I was wondering what you paid to get them refurbed that well!?? I have been searching for years to find a place that does them that well!

    if it’s easier you can drop me a message on WhatsApp or text 07947492727 cheers brother!​

      Hi Kimbo,
      I had mine done by Wheelworx in Ipswich, they even do the matt grey finish on the barrels:










      Obviously you can never truly get the original BMW finish without the silver tint in the paint as previously stated:

        Thank you very much for the reply Mike RT4, can I ask are the last 2 photos you added after the refurb or the pictures prior to that? Mine currently look like the first 4 you added but just missing that shine! 😩 but the last two look stunning!😍
        R60BBA the ones you added also look really nicely done!

          The last two images are the pictures of the original factory finish.

            Courtesy of Prince Wheel in the Charlotte NC area. I believe their claim to fame was their work with style 65s/chrome shadow and there are forum members who have used them in the past with varying reviews.

            Anyway, mine are missing that signature blueish hue in certain light/angles but there is a glossy-ness (?) that the factory spec has. I sent pics of factory fresh rears I have on the shelf before-hand and they did connect me with the tech who mixed and applied the powder. Staff was pleasant to work with.

            overall, im happy with the results.

            edit: I’ve been meaning to pull out a rear and do a side by side, but being lazy. Maybe ill do this and update
