I'll post a few pics when I learn how...
I found the 'NASA Guide' to refinishing. Looks pretty straight forward except for color matching the Twin Spokes, which have a more aluminum finish.

Thanks,

Eric

3 of 4 wheels are about the same.

wheel / tire forum yeilded the NASCAR write up. Looks fairly simple, but unless I can get a good line on color match I won't attempt.

the NASCAR write up gave me confidence that I might be able to pull this off myself.

Problem is paint match? The S4 appears to have a common paint/clear finish that I have on my 100 and urS4. The allroad twin spoke wheel 'appears' to be a different shade--slightly more aluminum looking. Maybe its my imagination.

Thanks for your help.

Actually, those aren't half as bad as some of mine. :oP
