Justin, my car is Millenium Silver. My intent was not to have the silver finish of the wheels match the Millenium Silver, in fact I would probably prefer the Alpine Silver since it is a brighter silver, whereas the Millenium Silver is darker and seems to have a yellowish or gold tone to it. I don't think the finish on my wheels match either the Alpine Silver or the Millenium Silver, they look more gray than any of these finishes. Of course this could be the lighting. I would be interested in seeing pics of your wheels in the daylight against your car for comparison.

Anyhow, thanks for the pics. I have some close-up indoor shoots of my wheels that I took before they were installed and I'll compare them to your pics and will post them later tonight. Too bad I don't have anything painted Alpine Silver to compare the wheels to in person.

Here are some close-up pics of my wheels taken indoors in the evening. Do you guys see a difference in the silver compared to Justin's wheels? Too bad I don't have something in an Alpine Silver finish to compare the wheels to in person.

iForged make a great wheel at a fair price. I'm going to get another set from Derrick as soon as I get out. Out of Afghanistan that is. I have a silver GS and am debating Hi-Polish or brushed. I haven't seen the brushed on a silver yet.

The wheels look nice and lord knows I understand the whole "compromise" thing I've been married forever. At least you didn't have to settle on a mini-van or the "typical family sedan". Nothing against Accord or Camry owners. I have one also.

imho if you want classy, get silver or brushed. if you want sporty, get charcoal
