Just completed a 'home' refurb on a set of E28 M5 alloys wheels, tried to go for a bit of a sport evo look, quite pleased with the results...

before...

 

After..

just put one wheel on yesterday, i think the darker colour makes the wheel look smaller. Nice change though.

That colour looks a bit dark for Nogaro silver, where did you get it from, was it mixed at Halfords? 

 

A Genuine SE wheel.

That explains why it looks too dark.
