Alloy colours

Post by A Blair » Sun Dec 03, 2017 10:14 pm

Hello everybody,
I want to refurbish the alloys on the X5. I like the look of the oem grey alloys that I am seeing.
Does anyone know the colour and finish.
They look Matt or Eggshell in finish.
Sorry to be a little vague.

I think the colour you're talking about is Feric grey, recently had mine done and like it a lot, Not sure I've seen it in a mat finish but after a week of driving mine change from gloss to a mat all on their own, special paint obviously ;).

Thanks Dave,
16" on the blade front or something a bit more modern you have their.

Any chance of pics of the car and alloys. Appreciated.
Going for some winter rubber and or alloys so its a good time to go for it.

Oh that one's the 954 so 17" and I almost look like I know what I'm doing in that shot (rare)!

Pic as requested, maybe could have gone a bit darker as they seem to look better (less blingy) when they've got a layer of brake dust on them.
