Think Im going to get my wheels refurbed on the M5. Its a shame really as they are in pretty good nick with no scuffs but they just look a bit dull if you know what I mean?
Anyway, I use these guys http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/File/wheel-finishes.php
What finish should I go for? I like anthracite but I want the car to look classy rather than racey!? Car is Silverstone II (kind of silvery blue) btw

Silver M5 identical to yours at the bottom of my street has the uber shiny ones, whatever that is and it looks amazing.

that'd be my choice, certainly something with a bit more shine to it but wouldn't go as far as full on chrome

i think it will contrast the silver paint of the car body nicely without looking too much of a contrast.
the only trouble is sometimes they can just look like dirty wheels

Just seen the black chrome in the flesh and even though they look a bit log in the pics on the site they look great in the flesh. Similar to below:
