Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
Yours are correct, the advert ones look like a slightly darker silver with glossy laquer. They're certainly not L8AU.

Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
Here's my old car which had Titan (L8AU) wheels and mirrors. Looks real nice on Black and is an OEM colour.

Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
They could be Sam, but you're right about the gloss finish. Satin looks better anyway, that's what I've got on mine. 
Ah - I see you have good taste too!

Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
Your first post says satin, which is usually similar to a matte finish on alloys.

Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
I actually think the colour of those isn't that bad and would go for them myself.Perhaps a bit more shine would have been better. Shiny silver nice when clean but as soon as you drive the car the brake dust makes the wheels go grey anyway.
Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
Does anyone know the actual factory colour code for these please as I want to put them back to original from black
Re: New wheel colour not what I was expecting!!
