Mag colour change advise

[msm]

Got a set of mags as shown in pic 1 (original Mini BBS 17s) and want to change the colour to anthracite (or very similar "greyish" colour) as shown in pic 2. These are split rims, so the part I want changed can be removed completely to be resprayed (which I would prefer).

Any advise who I can take them to and what is a reasonable price to pay for the colour change? I'm in Midrand/Centurion during the week, but can drop it off anywhere else (convenient) on a Saturday and pick them up after a week or 2 if I need to (as they are not on the car).

Colour I have:

Colour I want:

Oh, btw, here's the look I'm after (ito wheels), minus the dice of course :mmm: :

Looks good dude... I like.

Mag wheel repairs in Randburg should be able to help.

The mini in the picture (the whole package not just the wheels) , looks overdone with the spots and decals, yours looks far better...

Any news from the insurance ?

Yep, agree on the Mini in the pic being overdone - however, it was the only pic with the colour of wheel I wanted.

Insurance gave the go ahead to repair, so I should have the car back in about 3 weeks.
Spoke to the guys at Sanrose and they are ordering new bonnet, bumper, radiator, etc. Will check with later this week.

For the record, I'm changing to another OEM colour (or as close as possible), unlike your "Lenasia" edition wheels

I think spots on a mini look brilliant, reminds me of the rally minis of the 60s. Decals abit much though.

My Mini is red with a black roof. Seen a few with black mags and does not seem to stand out. Also, white looks good, when you have a white roof ...

The grey/anthracite stands out because there's very few cars with them on ...

They're a bit out of the way for me - avoid the city centre as much as I can nowadays, unless I really, really need to go there.

I would go "out of the way" for a good job! My bru in law sent his amg wheels to them and he was overjoyed at the job and the price too. Just my 2c... I do understand getting the job closer jus in case you need to go there a few times to check up.
