OEM 19" Advance Wheels - Colour

Hey guys, I have an odd question. I have looked online but I am only seeing the 19" in "Hyper Silver", but did it come in another colour, almost gunmetal like?

Reason I ask is 3 of my wheels are hyper silver, and one looks to be gunmetal in colour. I've tried cleaning them all very thoroughly because at first i thought maybe it was brake dust caked on the wheel and making it appear to be the dark grey, but it seems to be that is the colour of the wheel.

Any help would be appreciated.

Only 1 finish from factory. I'm not sure where you bought your wheels but someone must have refinished one of them or something of that sort. Or perhaps one of them was refurbished? Did you buy these wheels knowing one was off color? Or did it come with the car already?

it not the original factory finish. May have been professionally refinished which many Acura wheel colors are difficult to match and you probably would see a color shift over time.

It came with the car that way, I'm assuming that it was repaired and/or refinished. From the vehicle history and looking over the car thoroughly it doesn't appear the car was ever in an accident. I'm planning to have them all powdercoated because the one that is off colour is driving me nuts.

The odd ball was probably a refurbished/reconditioned wheel or even a cheap replica from China. The only way to tell is if you take one from the three that looks identical and compare them both. Look for markings (serial numbers & the specs all of them should have identical markings) & if they're not-well there's your answer.
