The lighting does make a difference, the picture with them next to the car gives a much better feel for how dark/light they are.

They are silver. The inside tag says silver as well as the boxes. I had to turn off the flash for some of the pics because there is too much reflection

they dont look this silver to me...


regardless...you get what you want. Theres a reason you chose GM over silver. Get what you wanted. $100 set of overpriced lugs wouldnt cut it for me. Either get what you want, or ask them for more than some lugs.

I believe that the LE37T silver is different from the Flat Silver of the TE37. If I am not mistaken you can only get this color silver on the 19" LE37T. It really is a nice silver color. It is a few shades darker than the stock wheels which helps to give them some depth.

those rims look nice as they are. they do seem a little darker than a reg. silver. i say keep the ones that you have and forget the gunmetal. i personally think that silver looks better on ls than gunmetal. but make the place from which you ordered the rims to give you more than lugnuts. ask for more since they messed up your order and caused you "emotional" damage.

Go silver. I got a LMS too... and it's a bright color. To contrast you need some bright (not chrome though ) rims.

I've seen pics of LMS with GM rims and the rims just kinda disappear. You can get away with GM rims if you go deep dish polish lip. Some gold color rims work but that's a tricky color cause not all golds are made equal and not all match the LMS color variant.

They are not Gunmetal, the lighting in some of the pictures is playing with your minds. This is a new Silver that is currently only available on the 19" LE37T. I have now been told that this is the first set sold in the United States. Wow talk about making the decision harder.

I want to make sure everyone understands that this was not the fault of the place that I ordered them from. Volk sent the wrong color and the dealer is willing to help get me the Gunmetal if I so choose, I will just have to wait a little while. Sh$t happens and I understand that. The lugnuts and locks are JDM Muteki lugs, not some cheap off the wall option.

I'd go with silver. Gunmetal looks nice but with your car color, silver is definitely the way to go.

And this is a special silver!!! There's too many gunmetals out there. Wouldn't you rather be one of the first with the limited edition silver? In this saturated market, you gotta be the first!

I think you should keep what ya got. Seems as though you're considering it, and I must say the pic you posted with the wheel up next to the car looks much better than I think gunmetal would. What you have is just right, regular silver wouldn't look all that good, but that darker shade kicks.

Keep what ya got and get the free locks, if you think about it, the color you have now is what gunmetal is in most wheels anyway. The other ones are so dark, they'd get lost, these stand out.

Also, people on here are probably tough critics, and everyone is diggin' em.

I really appreciate everyones input. It was a hard decision to make when I ordered them and now I am faced with it again. Maybe this was a sign. I have the weekend now to think about it. If anyone is interested in more pictures I will do my best to get some more posted.

Personally I like the ones you got. I am not sure I would like the gunmetal on teh sunset as well...especially since that silver has a little dark look to it....if it was a flat silver it may be different, but I think what you got is hot.

However, you wanted gunmetal for a reason...so if you still think that will look better, do it...do nto like the lugs enter your decision...

Personally I am not a huge fan of the gunmetal and sunset combo..but that is me.

The silver you have does look nice. But personally I would gunmetal on the LMS. It makes it look stealth, not to flashy. Either or, both are nice on your car.
