This is likely answered already but I'll ask again:
What is the best approach to refinish ZCP hypersilver wheels? I believe it's a multi-coat painted process vs. a much more common powder coating approach. Most shops around me default to powder coating. Going to need curb rash repair during the process as well. Looking for any experiences someone has had.

Thanks. Not looking to match a couple - going to send all 4 out to be stripped and being redone. Just need to figure out how to ask a shop to replicate the color as closely as possible. Don't want to deal with degradation like you see with a lot of refinishes - even the good ones.

I started the process by looking at powder coating due to its durability, but what I found from the folks over on M3Forum is that the hyper silver's luster is basically impossible to replicate with powder. You can get somewhat close by blasting it with fine grit glass media (>=300 grit when most shops will only go up to around 80 grit) during the prep process, but the final finish will still end up looking more dull and gray than multi-stage paint. If the OEM hyper silver finish is what you're after, then your best bet is to find a shop near you that has successfully replicated the paint process before. Ask them if they've done hyper silver M3 wheels. It may make sense to ship them out if you take the cost of a brand new set into account.

Better off buying a fresh set from tischerbmw. Price is pretty reasonable. Sell the old ones.

Last shots before throwing some spacers on this week. I went with a less aggressive 12/10. Trying to have them in before the car goes in to Festival of Speed St Pete next weekend. Will follow up w/ pictures once installed.

Would anyone know if 12mm squared would suffice? I already have 75mm stud conversions (front/rear) so going 15mm spacer would require me to upgrade to 90mm front studs.
