Refinished my 469M's in Orbit Grey

JStang · 11-12-2017, 06:53 AM

I picked up my wheels yesterday after having them refinished in what I hoped would be Orbit Grey. I showed the guy a few pictures of what I wanted and he knew right away that the finish was B39 over a black base. I think they turned out great.

For $700 out the door, it sure beats the parking lot refinish job that was done at the dealer.

I believe that is Ferric Grey which is a lighter shade. I was shooting for the 611M wheel that comes on the X5M as a winter setup. In person, it looks spot on depending on the lighting.

Are you selling these wheels?

No sir. These were refinished for my personal X5.

I'm not sure why these were moved to the FS section?

They were in regular forum this morning.

Powder coat or paint?

Powder Coat. They media blast the wheels down to the bare metal and go from there. The guys who did it are the real deal. They have contracts with Mercedes and Tesla and they do plenty of work on exotics.
