Very nice rims and D is the man! I also noticed the correct offset on your car in which people seem to not pay too much attention to. Your wheels look flush and if you lowered it more, it would look hott!

Mike, if you want to upsize or try a different finish, let me know we can work out a few things.

I did have specific preferences for my wheels and Derrick was very patience and informative working with me. Derrick, I just might consider taking you up on your offer to go with another finish (especially since the Mrs. also agrees that the brushed looks better).

Rominl, the finish doesn't look quite silver to me either (it really never did but I didn't have another silver finish to compare it to in person). Not sure if it's the lighting or the angle of the photo. In person and in the light, it does look more gray than silver. But in low light conditions, it looks more silver than gray. I don't know what to make of this. I just found J_Rok's post about his iForged 20s in the Silver finish. Here is a picture of his wheel. Do you guys think his silver finish looks different than mine? Derrick, what do you think? If the silver is different, can we have iForged correct it on mine?

of course it could be the case that that's how the wheels come from iforged, that's how their silver is

Mike, looking more closely at the pics, I think it may be lighting playing a big part. Notice how Justin took his pick with the wheel laying flat and the flash on? I think that makes the metallic specks show up more, not to mention the larger surface area.
This wheel is the first I have ever seen in silver as well so comparisons are tough.
I did contact iFORGED and had forwarded the pics, there was no finish change or defect.

when i saw your post, i questioned the color as well. So i decided to go get the already painted (alpine silver) rmm spoiler from my basement, and compare the color. I was suprised to see it was almost a paint color match. it might be that you have millenium silver, or maybe becuase i looked at mine inside (not sun light). Maybe mine is different as well. but from what i saw it seems to match my alpine silver fairly well.
*but i agree it didn't look like "SILVER" when i first recieved it*

I took some pictures last night, comparing the piece from my rmm spoiler (Alpine Silver) and the rims. my rims seem to match fairly well. enough so that my brother thought it was paint matched. . when it warms up and no snow. im gonna bring one of the rims out side. and compare it to the car, in natural light.
here are the pics

i still think it might be that you have millenium silver, and it is a little bit more (biege/silver)
