hi

I have had the opportunity of finding a nice and cheap set of alpina style original bmw rims

i am going to send them for repaint in its two colours, silver and black

i have been offered to do this in glossy or satin finish

which is the correct one ? glossy or satin

thanks
 
I just had my wheels refinished. The shop did them in Glossy and I did not realize till I got them home and fitted them to the car. I took them back and they wet sanded them and re-shot them in Satin. WHat a difference. They look fantastic now. I also noticed that those wheels also have the Black edge slightly outside the recess. I had mine done that way and it was a lot of extra work. I believe the correct colour is also Polaris from my research . Those should look great on your car.
