Thanks! It's actually a dark charcoal metallic. My father-in-law has a gunmetal Lexus IS-F with stock wheels that are similar in color. That is about the best I can describe the color. Don't know if you're familiar with them at all.
Yah, I didn't want black, but I wanted something darker than your typical gunmetal for the red colored body.

Looking good Z to G! Can't wait to see your car in person! I was thinking about painting my stock wheels over this winter too as it seems no one is in the market for mine that are FS, just as a second option but I haven't cause it seems I will never throw them on but this has me thinking again...

A tad dark for my taste as well but they look really good!

Don't forget drop and spacers in the spring time.

Thanks! Yeah I have some new Tanabe Sustec's waiting to be installed and I'll have camber kits to go along with them very soon. Still debating the spacers....... what is the recommendation for stockies? 15mm or 20mm?

Whats the paint code for the colour? I'm getting mine refinished for the 3rd time this week...
