Diamond Cut alloy - paint finish alternative?

Morning all. I bought my 2015 approved used X5 with fully re-furbed alloys by BMW 4 months ago. Already the diamond cut wheels are starting to corrode around the centre caps and other areas.

Re: Replacement Tyres for X5

I purchased a 2015 plate X5 a few months ago 'approved used' from BMW and the car had the same tyre wear.

3mm fronts - they agreed to change
4mm rears - they would not change advising 3mm is the trigger

Maybe some good negotiation could get all 4 replaced! Or even offer to pay 50/50

Re: F15 19" Double Spokes 467M Tye sizes

I have this morning pulled the trigger on a full winter set-up bought from a seller in Germany. 19" Style 450 alloys with Michelin Latitude Alpin tyres with the BMW * mark (6.5-7.5mm tread). Wheels are balanced and fitted with RDCi pressure sensors. Just over £1000 delivered - I think that is p...
