Hello,
What is the best way to get oem hyper silver wheels refinished? From what I've read a powder coat won't match.
I'm in Connecticut if there's any recommendations.

I have a set of 359's and 219's that I'd like to refinish. Care more about the "perfect" three stage hyper silver finish on the 359's.

There is no way to have a exact OEM match and the end result is 100% dependent on the company refinishing the wheels. Not all companies provide the same level of quality either.

I suggest inquiring locally with the best body shop in your local community and asking who they recommend to refinish your wheels. The good thing is you are doing all four, so all four will be matching.

From my experience, I've been able to get 90 - 95% of OEM from reputable refinishing companies. Hypersilver is certainly easier than the the Ferraric Gray style 219M. I've had both 359M and 219M wheels refinished, and I am not as satisfied with the Ferraric Gray finished product compared to a hyper silver refinishing.

Ahh yeah that's similar to what I've heard. I honestly think I may just purchase a new set of 359's from the dealer and sell my satin black avant garde 359 vs going through a whole refinish. I think in the end I may come out to similar $ number and have "oem"

My 219's are the silver version vs the grey, these I'm not to worried about if they don't match since they're "winter" setup and I picked them up for cheap so they're curbed up

Insist that they mask off your hub face and center bore. If they allow you to mask the lug seats do that too. It sucks to crack off all that new powder coat or paint.

Ahh, didn't even think of that! Thanks
