No probs n17......I just done my set of 17's for my X......Look in the X section and you'll see " another alloy wheel refurb"
Pice of cake bro...............although to be fair I did all 4 so I dont know about colour matching?
I highly recomment using Wurth silver alloy paint / primer and lacquer for a top class finish.
Sand those babies down, start using rough grade paper and gradually get finer n finer till your happy, prime the rim leaving around 30 mins between each coat ( I applied 2 coats of primer ) and then finely sand down again. Then apply Wurth silver alloy paint ( a fabulous product to work with and probably the best match you'll get ) I applied 3-4 coats.......finish with 2-3 coats of lacquer and job done.
Mine were pretty bad ( the wifes driving[&:][&:][&:]) and looked literally like new when finished

I used this process on my wheels and they came out very nice but like Jim says it's easier to match if you do all 4. It took me a couple of trys to get the paint to match the factory but I've only done the rears so far and you can't tell the difference from the fronts. I redid the whole wheel and lots of clear coat. They clean up really easy now.
Curb rash, that's funny. I call them zippers!!
