USCtrojan wow looks insane
whats the paint code for the gold
Thanks, the wheels definitely pop on the dark violet/purple/eggplant color of my car. Check with Mooty to see if he can find out what the paint code is that BBS used for the centers.

I believe the centers were painted out in Florida. Not sure about the paint code, check with the godfather.

thanks Guys.... I currently need to replace an inner barrell on one of my wheels.
The centers are black but now might be a good time to change them to gold.

Just wanna make sure I can pull the right color....

I'm jonsing for mine. 2 sets gold. They paint to order. I guess centers are raw then they send for paint. They are not powder coated. 1 week then a week to ship from southeast. 2 week lead time.... Get them tues. I can ask shop when I pick them up if bbs has the paint code.

<~~~~~~~ these will be for sale. Having shop check them out inspect and spin them to ensure true.

Default BBS gold

I just contacted Bbs motorsport in Germany couple of days ago to find out the colour code for the centers. Unfortunately there is no code as such. The shade is made just for Bbs. Also they don't want to sell the paint as it would be too much hassle for them.

So if anyone can find a good match for original e88/LM gold please post here! I am in the process of refinishing my LM's and looking for a right shade of gold.
