I think that all 2010 18 in. wheels are a darker finish from the factory vs the 09 but it could be a difference in FWD 18 in. models vs the SH 18's.

What about them. The SHAWD wheels win hands down. One of my favourite parts of this car

No, so his being a 2010 FWD, that must be the difference but others have noticed a difference between the SH 18's too. Maybe the 2010 SH rims are the new color and what was left of the 09's were used for the 2010 FWD option. Or it could just be that half way through the 2010 production their supplier changed the color or Acura decided to go darker but use up the lighter supply first.

Anyway, there does definately seem to be a difference, nothing major though and others have posted about it before.

maybe is just as simple as the sh comes with a darker wheel....

^Maybe someone who works in parts or sales will chime in.

KBP is definately my favorite vehicle color of all time. That was my biggest and only regret about getting the 4G. The 09 blue was not bad, darker but then they discontinued it. I really hope they bring back the KBP or something just like for the MMC.

I am enjoying the black though, nothing like it when it's clean and waxed but other than that it's hard to keep looking clean.
