Just bought a 328i with M Sport package. Only problem is that some of the wheels has some curb rash on them. I've been looking at videos on how to repair them myself by sanding them down and using bondo, however I don't know what spray paint I should use. I don't want to repaint all the wheels, just the parts that i sanded down. Does anyone know any paint that best matches these? The wheels are 18' 400M

Spend a few bucks and have them professionally touched up. They will look as good as new

The standard BMW OEM colors won't match. It requires custom blending, which is why so many repaired wheels done on the cheap do not match.

I personally suspect this was done to try and sell more replacement wheels and sell wheel insurance.

Contacted a guy who does wheel repairs. He quoted me $100 per wheel and claims the color is "hypersilver". Actually looks like a pretty close match.

On the other hand my local BMW dealership quoted me $165 per wheel.

Cannot speak for either one, but I know what quality repairs cost and can find many threads of off color/cheap repairs.

Good Luck
