Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Repair shop' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair shop' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The refinished wheel appears to be a bit of a softer silver, at least in the pics.
I've always done the wheels on the same side when I needed one refinished. Matching an aged wheel finish perfectly, even one in excellent shape, can be challenging.
Metallics are really hard to match and usually have to pay a premium or the �F u Price� to get it done correctly. Think the natural patina of the other 3 will always look differently. Typically they�ll match the center cap due to paint aging, with the only concession that plastic doesn�t show the same as metal when painted. Overall it�s not a bad finish and I�m extremely picky.
Had a wheel refinished. It looks different than the others for sure but only to the knowing eye really. It is not noticeable while driving down the road. The new finish will also wear in ever so slightly. I wouldn�t bother with the shop. Damn near impossible to get it perfect matched.
As others noted, the finish looks good, just a shade off. I'd consider doing the other wheel on that side and call it a day. I did the same on my Elise with that mist silver wheel finish that is impossible to match perfectly.
I think the refinished wheel is just glossier, because it was just refinished, and the clear coat is newer. I think that will age in time and not be so noticeable. But Id make sure they clear-coated the center cap the same way as the wheel itself. That stands out to me more than the difference between wheels.
