Factory refinished Wheels

A while back, I found a place that you can order factory refinshed wheels. Not replicas, but a place that ships OEM refinished wheels, and you ship your factory wheel s back. I can't find the place anymore. Does anyone have an idea where to get OEM wheels refinished as described above?

Don't think you can get an exact match, because one of the ingredients is not allowed in the U.S. anymore. If you are doing all 4, it shouldn't matter since the set you end up with will be a matched set.

No such thing.

There are great wheel refinishers, maybe some are factories, but BMW does not refinish wheels.

Dealers may, and they may send them out- but not 'factory refinished'

You're right I'm sure, but what I meant was that I wanted OEM wheels that had been refinished rather than replica wheels. I found the link I was looking for. Thanks for the info.

Understood, but they are real original OEM wheels, just the chrome version if that's what you want. I personally like the chrome.
