Bmw 313m Alloy Refurb
Hi,
Looking to get my 313m alloys refurbished, (they have already been recut once before and only lasted 4 months before going milky again). Noticed there are a few options available such as the silver chrome or black chrome etc. Ideally I’d like to replicate the original look as much as possible but without the diamond cut, I notice some of the M3 boys are having the spokes polished (with no lacquer), wondering if anyone has tried this look on the 313 wheels?. Obviously they will need to be regularly polished to maintain the shine. The other more durable option would be to go for the original grey base but silver chrome over the spokes to replicate (as much as possible) the diamond cut, anyone gone this route? |

I did mine black chrome when I had mine done. They look kind of diamond cut tbf and I was pleased with how they came out. There’s a pic I’m sure in my build thread. Will try find it.

They were done by BMW when the car was purchased, no chips, just poor quality refurb to be honest by one of the mobile diamond cut vans!, assuming there must have been surface contamination that was lacquered over.
Fancy a lighter silver version of the shadow chrome, similar to the original e60 spider alloys when new. Got a quote from the wheel specialist £418 incl tyre removal/refit. Last edited by Bmw330; 07-14-2019 at 12:04 PM.. |

Another option was ball polishing then painting the inserts, then lacquer but this wouldn’t be very durable, (approx £600) so the spokes ideally need to be painted. I’ve got another place to see at some point to see what they can do . |
