Anyone want to trade their Carrera Sport wheels for my BBS CH-Rs?

I wouldn’t trade mine but I would buy them.
I had a quote today to refurb my xrr wheels at £300 a wheel! Been told it needs a special £15,000 machine to polish one wheel at 6 hours per wheel. Ouch. Any ideas other than diamond cutting the lip? Which is less than ideal

For that kind of money I'd skip it, sandblast and then have them done in a new finish. A cnc machine could cut a new one in less than 6 hours, something could be a rye. Watch out.


Hexagon spreading the love, I imagine someone will take you up on that quickly.

I have this same finish with machined lip. I believe this is the factory version. @hexagone knew the previous owner of my car so I assume he would know whether the wheel had been refinished by that owner but each Carrera sport wheel I have seen is like this so I'm assuming that is a common finish

This looks a little darker than the GT Silver finish that typically came on these wheels. Mine came out darker than expected when refinished and look like this...
