Post wheel refinishing
I know this has been asked before...but does anyone know of someone who can refinish the M5 wheels? I've been told that it cannot be done properly because the original finish has some copper (?) and that substance cannot be used in US for spraying or whatever.

The only options I was able to come up with is:
A) Have the wheels chromed. or
B) Have the wheels refinished regular silver.

If I would refinish my M5 wheel chrome would be the choice.
