My silver sets are white behind the spokes so it sounds like a common theme?

just an update on the alloy wheels the dealer was told by bmw to order a new wheel in and compare with mine  it appears the new wheel is fully painted so a new set of four wheels are being ordered under warranty

cheers

Hi it's not bare alluminium just the grey is missing and a little rough which makes it hard to clean and bit naff looking when it is clean

Just thought I would add the wheels are still on back order no sign of delivery, mentioned today what would happen if I was to curb one in the mean time and the reply was they would have to look again at the warranty claim  >:(
