I purchased my BBS CH-R 19" gunmetal set in Belgium before I ever heard about your existence (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=653581).

I did some homework before getting my set. I am by no means objective, but in my book these rims are simply the best alternative for the 1M stock wheels (359 M Y-spoke Competition) for a VO 1M. It's my winter setup.

Only downside of 'gunmetal' is the difficulty of decently repairing scratches on the rim itself (so-called 'rim rash') because of color matching issues (which has to be distinguished from rim ring scratches, because the rim ring can be easily replaced). I resolved a frustrating curbing issue ...by simply ordering another rim.

And just for the record, the official BBS name for the 'gunmetal' rims is "Satin Titanium" (rather than "Matt Anthracite" as you mention on your website http://www.baanvelgen.com/wheels-bbs...b-19-bmwm.html).

Keep up the good work.
