Default Urgent, Need your Opinion on Situation

I placed an order for a set of LE37T 19x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5 +22 wheels in Gunmetal. The wheels arrived today but the wrong color was sent and I received Silver. The wheels do look awesome with the Lemans Sunset, but I can't compare them to the Gunmetal because I do not have them in front of me.

The decision comes with this twist, I can have them sent back and then send the Gunmetal , or I can keep the Silver and I can receive some nice Black locking lugs for free, retail $100. It will take approximately 7-8 business days to get the gunmetal wheels if I go that route. This is hard because I have the wheels in my posession and they are stunning. I will post some pictures as well to help. Thank you.

IMHO, silver would go great with the Lemans Sunset.

Either way, POST PICS!!!!!!!

I like the Silver on LeMans.....not a fan of the Guns with the LeMans paint.

Keep 'em....AND POST PICS!!!

The hard part is that the Gunmetal was my first instinct and is also what nearly every member recommended in an earlier thread for the Lemans Sunset color. The gunmetal really pops with the polished lip. I am just not sure

At one point, they were high on my list, but I like these a little more I think.

By the time I get wheels (spring) I'll have probably changed my mind again! lol

Personally, I would wait for what you ordered. I know the temptation may be great to put the wheels on but, you already made your decision and that is what you ordered....

Those look dark for being the normal silver....maybe it's just the lighting?!
