For those of you with BBS wheels...
I had read somewhere that BBS touch up paint (tough to find and important to get given how hard it is to match BBS silver exactly) was available through TireRack.com. When I looked for it online, however, I could not find it.
Just read a post by Gary of TireRack that it is NOT available online, but IS available if you call them.
So, if you need to get rid of that road rash we all eventually face...

I have a set of oem RC's that i want to refinish sometime this summer
Silver Wurth paint is what I'll probably buy.
It is the defacto color for german aluminum rims.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_prod_id=123,57,363_3157&action= product">http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_prod_id=123,57,363_3157&action= product</a</li></ul>

The Wurth paint is great for OEM Audi wheels, but not BBS.
That's why I made this post -- I've heard people complain that the Wurth color match is not great and they can't find OEM BBS touch up.

Took my BBS VZ to get refinished and they advised me that they are unable to match the OEM finish...
I also did my wife's Passat alloy wheels with the Wurth Silver paint and Wurth clear coat and was diappointed in the final color match. The silver tone was alot darker than the OEM color used by VW. I could of lived with it but when you put the rims side by side there was a huge difference in color, needless to say I had to have that one rim refinished to properly match the others.
