    When I purchased my car, one of the wheels was pretty badly scuffed. Is there a reasonable way to refinish a wheel or does one start watching the classifieds.

    A REALLY good wheel repair specialist is what you need mate! :):)

    They can repair the wheel and repaint/powder coat to make it look like new again. :):)

    I am sure there is someone in your area that can help you out. :):)

    The 355 Wheels are made of magnesium so have to treated differently to normal alloys if fully refinishing

    Ask the guys in the BMW parts dept at Plaza Motors in St Louis who they use.

    Call your closest FNA dealer and ask who they recommend to refinish.

    I scuffed one of mine up and shipped it to Mark at Ferrari of Atlanta and for $200 they fixed it right up.
