Had my L322 wheels done in LR Gloss piano black recently with black centre caps will post pics shortly when its clean and the water hasnt frozen! Original silver will retain value however colour matching with silver rim will provoke the "overfinch" style....shame it isnt epsom

Didn't think they did any L322 wheels smaller than 19" ?

get them powder coated. Cheaper and better in the long run. You'll be looking around 45 - 65 per wheel to have this done, and most places offer a same day service.

Dont have them sprayed or painted, it will come off and be worse than before.

This might give you some idea on the way you want to go. Had my original wheels powdercoated Anthracite grey. Bonus is it hides the brake dust a treat too.


And this is what they look like on the car. Notice I painted the callipers in grey hammerite which nicely match the wheels. Better than the rust colour they were before.


And one when we actually had some sunshine here in the UK.


The only other wheels I'd replace these with would be ZU's which you can get now in 18's, in Anthracite again. The Triple sport wheels I have on now are my favourite OE P38 wheel.

Up to you though..
