528i Luxury Loaner Wheel...

In a 528i Luxury loaner and love the wheel color / finish.

Can someone help me identify the color / finish?

Bright polished silver in look; photo attached.

Possible to replicate same on my wheels?

If so, any idea of cost and durability?

Thanks!

So the wheel is Style 454 and is “Bicolor Reflex Silver” that’s “gloss-lathed”.

Anyone know what “gloss-lathed” means and whether it can be replicated aftermarket?

Thanks.

Gloss-Lathed means gloss coating or clear coat. Looks to be A silver finish with machined face. We carry few styles in a Gloss Silver with Machined Face. Feel free to PM us with any questions you may have.

Thank you very much!

Any idea if Style 301 is a candidate for such a finish?

I'll be sure to be in touch.

Thanks again!

If you're shooting to get the machined face finish, it will be difficult with style 301 wheels. Most wheels with machined face, the spokes have a flat face. You always can source OE wheels off another Bimmer to swap on your vehicle. Just be sure to check specs for fitment. Or you can choose to go with aftermarket wheels.

True; thanks for this info!

Love Style 301 too much to switch.

Maybe I can set mine off with a different color, maybe 'hyper grey'?

That's another option. Hyper Silver is a unique finish.

Recently saw this neat wheel design on a new 535i waiting to be delivered at my dealer.

No window sticker to see the style number and didn’t ask.

Looked even better in person!

Enjoy.
