05 Cobalt SS rim color and size? Please read!

Okay, so I need a new front passenger side rim for my SS. I'm now finding out that there are three different colors for that rim and I don't know what to order. If it helps at all, my stock rims are the darker color ones that are almost black when dirty haha. Is this color called hypersilver? Please help!

Also, chevrolet gave me a part number for the rim telling me it's 18X7. All of the wheels I find online are 18X7.5. Anyone know if the rim is actually 7.5 or 7 or if they made both? Once again, help please if you have any knowledge on this. Thanks so much everyone.

Well this is what the rim looks like...the pics a little lighter than the actual color. The official name of the color is gun metal?

Ah, I see. The reason I ask is because the hypersilver rim is significantly cheaper than the "gun metal". I can't find a gun metal color rim ANYWHERE. And is the hypersilver crazy different than the gun metal?

they stopped making the gunmetals, my buddys 06 rims started flaking, they replaced all his rims because they couldnt get the gunmetals, you may need to check a junkyard.

I'm curious how much you are about to pay for these two wheels. I only ask because the prices I've seen quoted from dealerships etc are outrageous. You could easily buy a set of 4 after market rims for some of the prices I've seen for 2 OEM wheels. I assume you're buying these through a discounter though.
