I was seriously thinking about trying this wurth stuff , its very good and OEM match for BMW wheels

Few more updates on this
Finally my gold bolts arrived
I'm off to get a torque wrench that goes up to 25 so I assemble these today !
Also I re sprayed the centers in oem BMW silver so they look much better
Also ordered replica red and gold badges just for test purposes to make sure I like them and then get the original ones [WEARY FACE]

You don't need a torque wrench, just use thread lock and tighten them as normal. I did mine with a buzz gun and their fine!Quote:

Can't wait to try them on [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/09/nuru6e4y.jpg
Looking smashing. Top job.
Yes aivis ! Gave 4 coats of lacquer for protection . Hope it hold a out well
Ur right that's the bad thing about powder cost is you have to paint plastic cap and it never same colour . I'm really happy with this colour . Wurth silver is very good stuff and oem match for BMW rims
Btw does anyone have a spare plastic cap remover for these center caps?
Thanks
Keep it for me please
Will get during the week
Nice one Claudio! They are not style 5s but I think I will be giving my RC040s the same treatment once they are off the estate as the dish are pretty dirty and the bolts are rusting again :( I gave the dishes a go with some Metal Polish today and could see some results but to do a proper job I should have taken wheels and bolts off.
I think I will redo the center's colour as I went for the Powder Coat and the plastic centers are a different colour... :@
Really nice job... looking forward to seing them on the car ;)
P.s Silly question but where did you get the torque wrench from ?
