My TLS wheels are on for the winter with winter tires and the wheels for some reason look VERY dark compared to other TLS wheels I have seen pics of. Mine are OEM and have never been refinished so Im just curious.

Evidently they do as others have complained about different shades when the wheels are installed on the car. They aren't different part numbers, but probably just produced at different times and with a diffrent color blend.

Thanks guys! I searched google for type-s wheels and noticed some cars have the darker wheels on cars that are for sale out there. So there must be different shades on these from what I can tell.

I don't feel thats a good example, one pic the car is clean and well it, the other pic the car is dirty and poorly lit.
With that said Acura cant get the bumpers to match so I would assume the wheels don't stand a chance LOL...

Yes, not the best example, but clearly the top cars wheels are much darker. My wheels look almost black even when well lit and clean. Just like that top TLS does.

the wheels were not produced with the original car most likely. i cracked a rim and had to get a new one. luckliy the Insurance took care of it, but it is a bit darker than my other rims
