I decided to photoshop this myself... keep in mind that I'm color blind and my goal was gunmetal
Hopefully I can get a color with a bit more gloss in it when the time comes.

^Nice photoshop, thats a perfect shade IMO. I'm not a fan of black OEM wheels since its overplayed, but a lighter gunmetal gives it a nice oem+ look

Thanks! I've had my wheels powder coated gunmetal before, below is the result, hopefully it makes a good match on the IS.

I think the best color to powdercoat the OEM wheel is the 08 IS gunmetal stock color. Best looking color IMO.
