Default Does Volk Racing's idea of Gunmetal match SGM.

I just order a set of Volk Racing SF Winning in Mercury Silver, but the wait could be around 3 months for the size and offsets I'm looking for. However, there is a SF Winning in Gunmetal ready ship from Volk. Waiting 3 months for these wheels is gonna be tough and I don't really want to get Gunmetal if it doesn't match Smoky Granite Mica. I don't want the wheels to be lighter or darker than the SGM. Can any of you confirm is it matches pretty close? thanks.

BBS Gunmetal is lighter - matches beautifully and the Volks I've seen are very nice looking and match just as well.

Do Volk's come in Black? Or is Gunmetal the darkest they have?

Well I kinda wanted the GM to match SGM as close as possible or not match at all, so I'm just gonna stick with MS.

size and offsets...
19x8.5 +38
19x9.5 +42


it's going to be a long and difficult wait.
