Thanks Diyanich,

It appears that the wheels shown are factory BMW wheels. The wheels show in the picture are after market, any oyher ideas are appreciated.

I think the brand is Moda.

Thanks petener999,

I checked out several sites selling Moda wheels with no success. Any other help is appreciated as buying 4 new wheels is not a good option.

mille miglia evo5... imo a terrible wheel.

You could always talk to your local dealers who typically know someone that does wheel repair. At first thought this didn't sound good me, but I saw in person a E46 3-Series 17'' sport wheel redone and one of the Sales Managers 911 wheels repaired too and they both looked awesome.

They told me he couldn't do that sort of "hyper-chrome" finish on E46 M3 19's but after a few months called me back and said he had figured that out too and they had one done to show me. I still haven't had mine done, but like I said I did see two in person that looked flawless. Depending on your damage, this may be the bext route since you're unsure how to replace the wheel. Obviously I'm in Jersey so I can't get you a name but if you try a few local dealers I'm sure they'll have someone for you.

Good Luck!

Thanks JCAPX5,

I appreciate the idea. The wheel would need to be heated, straightened and refinished, not sure how cost effective this would be, unless I can't find a stray somewhere. It appears this wheel has been discontinued. Thanks again!

No problem my friend.

I had bent a discontinued 20'' aftermarket wheel back in the day and had is straightened. As with anything...it's all about the guy you have doing the work to get perfect results.

For yours, I thought it was maore of a cosmetic thing from reading your post. The local guy here is around $100 per wheel for cosmetics.

Anyway just a thought, best of luck with yours!
