they are all hand painted so every set will be different. think of it as your first mod.
they do look rather light though.

Are you talking about your rims being shinner than everyone elses? Because they will darken over time.

i believe two kinds were made, the gunmetal wheels like the ones found on the 06 black cars (and im sure others) and then the polished ones.

uh why would they darken over time? maybe from brake dust build up

hey man dont sweat it your car looks badass, and black06ss's wheels are way lighter than mine, everyone that has seen our two cars side by side has said something

So i went to the dealer tonite and they saw the difference in color.....The service manager said he would talk to the sale manager to see if they can switch the wheels with an SS/SC they have on the lot and yes that SS is alot darker rim than mine!!! So cross your fingers!!
