I've noticed that not may people pay attention to the hue of gold from brand to brand. They just see gold.
To clarify, are you saying you paid $250 to have your Frozen Gold 763m's repaired? The last owner of my car scraped two of the wheels and I'm hoping it's possible to get an OEM fix.

Yes, but it's not a true repair. A talented wheel person matched the gold color, but you can tell the process is not the same as BMW. You have to get right up to the wheel and look for a minute to find it. If you no what to look for it still takes a couple minutes. I went to my bmw dealership.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. I figured a full fix was completely out of the question, but I’m glad to know that a “better than what I have now” solution exists without having to buy 2x new 763m’s.
