Cool Wheel Color Code Help

I will be getting the stock 18" SH-AWD wheels soon but they are the grey ones. I have had no luck getting the silver ones.

The stupids parts department guys are no help at all claiming that Acura went through a simple part change and that the wheel is the same.

NO ITS NOT ASSHOLE!!! ITS A SHADE DARKER, PRICK!!!!

So now i find myself looking for that particular color code.

Does anyone out here know it?
Does anyone here have that wheel in silver and can get the color code?

Is there a way that i should be going about this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just got off the phone with Acura and they have no clue.

The guy told me "Its a result of the painting process that gives the wheel its silver color"

Once i heard that I insulted the guy and sent him to hell.

It's like that on my wheels too, instead it read TK5-880A, and According to Mr.Skytech, the 880 tells whether it's an 01 or 02.

I am investigating your particular part number.

I hate it when Acura is so confusing with their own part numbers.

I think that the original documents are written in ancient Chinese and then it’s transported here via old dusty crates. When they are opened its read by an old Chinese man who has no teeth and then translated by an 8 year old, who its mother owns a message parlor. I think this is where the confusion comes from. Then to make it worse, the training that is given to the rest of the Acura parts world sucks!

Yeah, it's one thing to not have the part number on the part, but WTF is up with a totally different part number?
