Those JDM BBS wheels look beautiful. What color is that, if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks! I guess Hyper Silver is just a name that your wheel shop uses? I was wondering if there's a standard paint code or something that I could refer to when it's time to have my wheels done. Btw, did you also have the wheel caps done?

I don't know the code. But, hyper silver is a very common color and I expect any good custom body shop or restoration shop will be able to reproduce it. I ended up using a custom car restoration shop in the area because I did not want to use powder coat and none of the specialty wheel repair type places would do what I wanted done.

Yes, I did have the caps painted as well, and I had some vinyl "H" stickers made to replicate the oem caps as close as I could.

Just bought a set of these after years of hunting, does anyone know if the factory center caps work or where to buy caps for these?

I'll post some pics after I get them refinished. Going washi grey, should look nice.

I think the center caps are the same size across all wheels or at least the oem 16’s and the bbs 16’s should use the same caps.

Are you planning to paint or powdercoat?
I remain very happy with these wheels and to me they represent the best option for my cars at the moment.
Post pics when yours are done.

Painting is the way to go. Had mine powder coated. Although not very noticeable, area around the lug nuts already started chipping.
