Different Type-S colors?
I'm planning to get type-s wheels. I have been looking through the different type-s wheels and noticed different colors. Is it true that OEM type-s wheels comes in different OEM colors? If so, what kind of colors do they come in? If any one happens to have different colors of type-s wheels, please post up some pictures. Thank you.

They only have one part number but the shades are different dependent upon the "batch" produced.

Not exactly sure what you are trying to say.

He is saying, all type-s wheels are the same (i.e. same part number), sometimes the shade is different, in different batches when they are produced.

Yep...nearly EVERYTHING that is produced by man, for large companies, by external suppliers have some sort of quality assurance or quality control. i.e. if there is a reported wheel that has a darker tint than normal to the finish, it can be traced back to the manuf. "batch" or "lot" and dealt with accordingly.

Essentially, all 3G TL-S stock wheels are the same color.

Anyone know if these wheels are produced by Enkei? Cant remember where I read this but I saw it somewhere...

I know the 04-06 equipped with 17s wheels are made from Enkei. Not sure about the type-s wheels. Hope that helps.
