V8 BBS wheels

[Ben Swann]

Brett,

They were stripped and repainted in Zermatt silver.  The lip was not
machined - requires a special lathe that cuts the tiny ridges.

Yes the paint is tough - actually a clearcoat on the grooved metal edge.
Unfortunately, once it goes, it looks horrible.

DId you find someone who could competently refinish the machined  
lip?  If so, I'd love to know who.  Mine are in OK shape paint-wise  
(is it just me, or did BBS paint them with the strongest paint known  
to man?), but the lip on all of them is quite corroded.
