This. Looks fine to me?

Take the blue packaging off they'll look great

This more what was I was thinking
Or do I need glasses lol

Yours are correct, the advert ones look like a slightly darker silver with glossy laquer. They're certainly not L8AU.

Here's my old car which had Titan (L8AU) wheels and mirrors. Looks real nice on Black and is an OEM colour.

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!

Looks smart Sam

I was thinking they would be a bit lighter ! After trawling google images before making the desicion to get them done . I am Not 100% know will unpack them when home
& see

Your first post says satin, which is usually similar to a matte finish on alloys.

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.

Does anyone know the actual factory colour code for these please as I want to put them back to original from black

Thanks lads most peeps like them ! Have got the packaging off
I did not want to go the non oem colour
I have almost convinced myself hahah

I like that colour i want to paint my wheels to gloss black or titan
