since I assume these will be repainted as part of the restore, how about a paint code for that titanium color?

Sold - 05' E55
Looking Real Good -
I've been waiting for a reply back from the guy that has a damaged set of the same wheels.
Maybe he sold them??
Do they weigh more than the stock 55 wheels?

Ugh.....loking at the first picture and the spoke on the right......there is a huge run legnth wise on the spoke. My guy would never let that leave his shop. I assume that means those are painted not powdercoated.

wow good eye, i didn't even notice haha...i can take them back since there is 1 year warranty on the finish. He actually had to re-do them 2 times because they were sitting around the shop. Thanks Marcus for the heads up

So they only charge $600 to straighten, weld, and refinish? That seems like a really good deal.
