There aren't different shades. There is only the painted "Gunmetal" or the high-polish aluminum wheels on the SS/SC.

The gunmetal wheels look lighter or darker depending on the lighting. I am sure there are some variations in production, but nothing significant.

It is lighting. The gunmetal paint changes shades based on how the lights hit it. That is all you are seeing. You can't compare photos of the wheels taken at different locations, at different times of day, and at different angles.
