Our 2011 R56-S came with the 12-spoke 17" alloys shown below. Sadly on closer inspection, the DIY black paint job seems to have been brushed on!
I've been quoted £85+vat to have each one stripped & re-coated in satin black, plus the wheels would need to be away from the car for over a week which makes it practically impossible as the car is used much of the week.
I was wondering if it might be cheaper to source a similar used set and sell the ones we have. But I'm not sure what we have! . Can anyone suggest what our wheels might be, or something similar?

Our 2005 R52 passed its MOT test last week (mandatory yearly checkup here in the UK).
The garage noted that the brakes were a little spongy, although they still seemed to work ok on the real & rolling roads when being tested. Also, they couldn't see any leaks in the braking system and by...
Hi all
Has anyone had a chance to play with Hill Start Assist yet?
Does it work? Does it have any side-effects when trying to pull off - or do the brakes go off the instant you put your foot on the accelerator?
Any comments from people in the know will be appreciated...
Thought I'd have had...
