Well, the wheels WERE a flat gray metallic color. The prob is I want powder paint and they don't do flat metallics (doesn't hold up). Than means it's a glossy grey metallic or a flat black.

I though the low-gloss black would look killer. Especially with the titanium bolts and I get a 2-lb per a wheel weight savings.
