Question sent the WRONG color rims!!

**** they sent me the wrong color GT-S's!! I was supposed to get titanium gunmetal but got gunmetal instead.

Although the more I look at them, the more I want to keep them. LOL

What do you guys think? They are going to go on a silverstone Z..







this is what I was supposed to get:

lol.. tough call for me for some reason..for some reason I always thought the regular gunmetal would be too dark..

but then I think about the titanium gunmetal matches too closely and doesnt add contrast..

decisions decisions..

thanks for the input guys

It was mounted and balanced so they used their own packaging.

It was verbally stated it was titanium gm.. and I even double checked to make sure it was titanium and not regular verbally.. ironic

The possibilities of them wanting to take them back are slim and you said you are starting to like them. So do this, give them a buzz and see if you can settle for a few hundred dollars in refun or another set of tires. I see it happening very easily.

Worst to worse, they'll just take it back and you'll actually get what you wanted from the begining. WIN WIN all for u.

I think those look hawt! I have a SS & I would definitely sport those on my ride. It maybe the TiGunmetal since every picture I've seen of it seem to change color depending on the lighting (check the GTS thread). I'm looking at the GTS as well & was looking at the Gunmetal or Black since it would match my BBK Calipers.

Would be nice if one of the vendors here took some pics of the TiGunmetal & Gunmetal side-by-side. Hint Hint That way, there is a better comparison between the two in similar lighting.
