In Reply to: Has anyone refinished basketweaves and results? posted by Jr on March 12, 2000 at 08:56:55:
My wheels looked bad but I didn't want to spend big bucks. So I checked with a local body shop that specialized in Mercedes and they wanted $100 per wheel. Also checked with local shop and they wanted $40 per wheel. So for $160 I let them do it. Granted there are some runs in the clear coat but it is OK for a daily driver.

: On the unofficial bmw web page, I saw some posts where they cleaned, sanded(340 grit)and sprayed wurth silver on the wheels followed by a clear. They reported like new results. Although my wheels are in good shape there are places toward the center of the rim where it looks as though they aren't painted all the way or over the years the brake dust has eaten the paint away revealing touches of the white primer and a rough surface area. You don't notice it unless you are cleaning the wheels, basketweaves, it's a daily job. So now my intrest is peaked and curious to know if the results are "like new". Any tips or suggestions?
