So do your wheels look bad as well?

If I can prove that the paint/powder coat job is really bad i am hoping to get BMW to pick up the tab. It would be SWEET if they ended up replacing them.

I actually saw them in chrome once, I didn't like it. I dont really love the starfish ///M wheels, I think BMW makes some better looking ones to be honest.

: Chrome would be cheaper than a new set of wheels. There is a place in Campbell called

: Wheel Techniques

: that would do them for $195 each (any size wheel). There could be other shops in the Bay Area that might do it cheaper. (I haven't called around enough)

: I was thinking of doing chrome to the wheels also, but thought about holding off until I scrub one of the wheels (which thankfully has happened yet).

: Would like to powder coat the calipers first though.......
