Exactly. I felt the same when I was driving a loaner IS car with dark grey wheels. I was a bit embarrassed to drive with that wheels. People probably think I don't wash my car.

Does anyone know what the finish is on the F-Sport wheels? I'm trying to determine the best type of wax or protectant to use on them.
Also interested in finding some winter rims.

They have some sort of clear coating. It's not bare metal and it's not chrome.

The OEM "Gunmetal" F-Sport Wheels (found on F-Sport Pkg only) are indeed painted...
