Volk GM is lighter than most other wheel companies. In direct sunlight it is almost an exact match for Silverstone. In the shade, the wheels appear darker than the car. I have never seen the Ti GM in person though so I don't know exactly what it woud look like. Either way, those wheels are hot and I would keep them.
To the OP, the wheels you have ARE titanium gunmetal. Different camera/lighting/camera settings make titanium gunmetal look darker or lighter in some pictures.
Titanium gunmetal is a matte finish so it has very little to no gloss. Plus the GTS is only available in titanium gunmetal as a standard color. Even if you ask to order gunmetal it will most likely be titanium gunmetal, unless you specifically tell them differently.
Regular gunmetal on the GTC/GT7/etc has a gloss to it if you want to compare colors.

I thought it was called mercury silver as in the pics. I was kinda confused when first reading the post. Anyways I just ordered a set of silver GTS, so I can be cool like everyone else.......J/k, but seriously I did order a set. They said it should be here in no later then a month. I'll post pics as soon as I get them.
