I just got my AMG S430 wheels, and some of the chrome on the spokes are chipped. Is there anyway I can fix this thing? because I want to get them powder coated AMG silver, by the way is there a paint code on AMG silver?

Thanks!

Yes there is. You gotta have them re-chrome your wheels.
If you are thinking power coating them then you have to send
them to a place where they specialized in power coating.
If I were you don't think about doing it yourself.

just remember that when you powder coat rims, they have a tendency to shrink a little bit...I'm serious, too.

Is there anyway I can "patch" the chipped part of the rims, and sand it to blend again with the rest? because I want it silver, but the powder coat company doesn't deal with fixing the chipped.

The only thing you can really do is rechrome them. For about $400, it might be worth it to have them in good condition again.
