Paint code for CSL wheels ?

**XPorker** · 10-06-2009, 03:08 PM

Hi all,
Need your help

The wheels on my car are in need of some TLC.
They've been refurbed before (by Stevie Wonder I think) ?
I've got someone who I know will do a top notch job, but having discussed the CSL wheel colour with them, they've now asked me to get either an original wheel or the proper paint code.
Is the original CSL wheel silver more coarse and "sparkly" than the wheel paint used on other BMW wheels ?
Anybody got a paint code (or an original wheel they can lend me) ? for matching purposes ?

Many thanks in advance.

I was reliably informed on here that the name for this is Hyper Silver and is a pig to colour match

Talking of wheel refurbs. Mine are going back for the 3rd time. Hopefully third time lucky too!

Theres no such thing as colour codes for wheels im afraid. Your best bet is to find someone who can do the closet match and get all four done.
