I think there's a tech article on this. If not, I saw it under Stoney's Links.

Default yup, pretty simple to do! i tried it with my BBS CH...

and the paint didn't match perfectly, but it's hard to tell from a distance. OEM wheels are even easier to refinish because WURTH paint is practically a perfect match.

Default I took mine to a local wheel repair shop. $75 per wheel for sanding & repainting.

They all had some curb rash from prior owner nad they looked perfect after.

Default Sure. Wurth Silver and Clear are a very close match to the S4 finish....

I did a set of S4 wheels, and a set of aftermarket wheels with these paints with great success, and recently redid my allroad twin-spoke faces as well.
