Re: alloy wheels not painted properly
My silver sets are white behind the spokes so it sounds like a common theme?

Re: alloy wheels not painted properly
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

Re: alloy wheels not painted properly
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 >:(

Spoke to both the dealer and bmw uk and guess what no joy with the wheels looks like the car will be getting a new set just before I trade it in >:(
