Hi going to refurbish my wheels on my Z3M over the winter, can anyone recommend a company local to me in South Wales and what is the factory colour code as I plan to have it as per factory spec. Cheers

If it's an S50 then the factory colour is "hyper silver" - a plain silver finish with zero fleck in it.
If it's an S54 then the factory colour is "black-chrome" which has a deep lustre to it.
I have an S50 but had mine done in the S54 finish as I preferred it. I had mine done at "The Wheel Specialist" - they have branches across the UK

Thanks for the info, there’s a wheel specialist near me and will try them, the small m badge on the wheel how did you remove or are they still available. Cheers

Graeme they are currently the correct Hypa Silver, and were correctly painted some years ago, the effect is achieved by adding a black base layer and is called I believe Vichrome or Polychrome effect that allows for a very faint black fleck to show that gives the paint its distinctive look. When you pop to the shed you can compare to my Imola the wheels which have been incorrectly sprayed silver at some point and just don't look correct or as good as your M (yet)

Thanks Niall, planning to come in October and compare.
They just stick on, you can buy new ones on Amazon/eBay etc.

My last set were £2.99 for 5 from eBay (looks like the current price is £3.15 for 5). There are different sizes. I wanted 17x9 for my wheels. Other sizes are available...
