Default M series wheel

I have a little dilemma.I have a small curb ding on my blitz wheel.It has a polished lip.There is a local guy in my area that can repair it but he only has apaint color similar to the m series lips(bmw m3 m5).Could someone tell me if there lip is close to the same color as my lip which is the same as a work,volk,etc polished lip.Does any one no for sure about the color difference.Also do you think it will be a big deal if there is a small difference.

If your wheel has a polished lip, then he'll have to polish it out...there is no paint on a polished lip...it's just bare metal, polished up nice and shiny and sometimes with a clear coat...

You can try contacting Blitz North America and see if they can replace the lip for you...should be around $150 or so...
