Those appear to be Hyper Silver. FYI if you ever gotta buy a replacement, because although they appear darker in person, its a huge difference to a gunmetal which is a DARK grey. Ask me how I know...

Agreed - check my sig. My wheels are gunmetal - BIG difference from those that you bought (which look really good BTW).

The car is looking nice with those wheels!
To be honest, it doesn't look that bad without the drop unlike others I have seen.

Thanks for the compliments! Yeah, I was telling one of my friends that I was interested in lowering it and he said he thought the stance was perfect, so I'm kind of torn between lowering it or not lowering it. It has the sport suspension so it does ride a little lower. I know I would like the look of it lowered, but I'm not sure if I would like it enough to drop ~$1300.
