TL Type-S wheel question

OK, so my wife hit something on 495 in Northern Va and toasted my two front rims. Insurance replaced them and Pohanka put them on. Well, they don't freaking match the rear wheels. They are lighter in color. I am assuming the paint color changed slightly (nice quality control Acura). So what should I do? Just get two more to match the new ones or sell all 4 of these and get a whole new set? I prefer the darker charcoal color that my car came with. I am interested to see if anyone has reconditioned ones and how do they look? I noticed a set of recon's online for $639 shipped. Looks like they are the right color.....

If I'm not mistaken there are 2 shades for the waffles and there is no color code for either.

The closest color code for the lighter shade is from a Z06 vette which is:

Move the wheels so the new ones are on one side and the older pair on the other side of the car.
