I'm not sure what this one is. My E30 wheel was the 370mm wheel. Feels the same to me. __________________ - David

Most Tech II's are 370mm unless you happen across an E34 Wheel which is 385mm.
On a Tech I there is not notch in between the spokes and the wheel where the small emblem is found. | | | | | 10-02-2008, 10:14 PM | #19 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |

you said 600 grit, 1000 grit, and spray paint? what type? matt? or glossy? | depends on how bad it's scratched or how deep the grooves. 1000grit makes it pretty smooth. Clean with alcohol (let dry). Then apply several coats of SEM Classic Coat - 5 minutes apart. here's a pic.  Here's a website that sells it. I found it at my local automotive paint dealer. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autobodydepot/sealcoat.aspx __________________ - David
