Default What color Volks are these???

Hey guys, i bought a set of TE37 off a forum member on here. Anyway they look to be mercury silver, but on the box and behind the wheel it says CR (which mackin told me stood for Chrome Silver). Can someone tell me what color these are? I like them, but they arent mercury silver. I just want to make sure so i dont go around telling people i have mercury silver when i do not. It is a flat silver. Thanks!

Well i guess they arent mercury silver? I called mackin again and they said its regular silver? Heres a pic of a mercury silver TE37 from another member, they do seem a little glossier and darker.

Not Mercury silver, look to be just Volk's plain "Bright Silver" color.

TEs are my all time favorite wheels. Yes many people have em, yes they have a simple design, but thats part of the reason i want them. The SFs made my Z look less like a sports car and more like a show car.

So whats the official color name for these TEs? Does anyone else have this color? I dont remember seeing anyone else with a flat silver looking TEs.

Mercury silver or plain silver - they'll look sick.

What are the specs and offset?

titanium silver is the matte version of chrome silver - that is what it appears to be

mercury silver is not quite matte, not quite glossy - more satin

i saw them today. they seem to have no clear coat on them, just straight paint which was a bit odd. cleaning them would be a pain.

i mean its not like i bought it straight from them, i got it off a forum member so i wanted to be sure. All mackin knows is the box says CR, they dont have a pic of my wheels. So i wanted some of you guys to confirm if they are chrome silver-which i believe they are.
