I had my ACS TYPE III refinished......
I tried to sell last month, but I'm glad I decided to get them refinished.
Polished lip and "ghost chrome" centers (Close to stock M5 wheel).
I am very happy with the results.
Only issue was they didnt paint the center caps to match.
They didnt want to cover the ACS logo.
I am not sure if I want them painted to match or leave as is.
Are there any BMW roundel center caps to fit the larger ACS center bore?75mm I think?

I put on new General Exclaim UHP tires, they are the top rated tire in this size on tire rack.
So far they seem to perform and ride well, however; I haven't pushed them yet.

Are they polishable? Make them match the outer lip. I like the contrast from the pictures. But I am sure in person its not as nice (having 3 finishes, picture you can easier to see as 2 finishes)

From the pictures, the unpainted center cap looks OK. I like the contrast.

@VetteRacer: these center caps are not polishable, as far as I know. On my ACS wheels, the center caps were plastic. I had my centers polished, and had custom made alu center caps, to be able to polish these.
