Hi all I’ve got a set of 313m alloys on my 330i but they have seen better days, my question is I’m looking to get them refurbed, what is the original alloy colour? Is it diamond cut and silver rear?? Also has anyone got any pictures of them in different colours?? The cars white so don’t want the “tacky” boy racer black alloys, seen a few and I’m not keen on the colour combo,

I’ve seen shadow chrome and thought this would look pretty good against the white??

Thanks in advance

AFAIK, they are silver with diamond cut. However, if you have the option, avoid diamond cut - it appears that the lacquer doesn't adhere to it very well. I've had my 442s refurbished and within a year there were patches where the lacquer was bubbling.

If I had the option I'd go with black/dark grey inside and silver in place of diamond cut.

I have 313 style alloys and was advised that black chrome would be the closest to the original finish if not going diamond cut.
