A-Spec wheel clarification

Ok I'm a little confused...

The original owner of my car had the full A-Spec package put on the car, however, at some point decided to sell the A-Spec wheels (why?!?!).

Now I'm looking for the wheels again, however, it seems there are different sizes and colours for these wheels. Can someone clarify what size was used for what years, as well as what colours were available?

I found a site selling what they claim are oem A-Spec wheels, but they describe the color as being "black chrome". I thought the A-Specs only came in gunmetal grey, no?

What about width? Don't they come in 8" and 8.5"? Why the difference? When did the change happen?

Only A-Spec wheels from 2004 are gun metal, and 8.5".
All others are 8" wide and come in Sparkle Silver, or Ebony, or "Satin" I believe.

Any idea why there was a change in width for the wheels? Is there figment issues?

Thank you, good sir!

Wow that 3G Garage link you posted is a miracle helper. I didn't even consider looking there. Fail on my part, but many thanks on yours!
