Default GS430 Wheel finish differences..

Has anyone noticed that the finish of the wheels on the GS430 seem different over the last few months? My GS430 is from April of this year. When I was at my dealer the other day, I took a look at the test drive vehicle, which is from January, and the wheels were noticeably darker. Looking at the wheels together, I noticed that my wheels were much shinier, more silver while the test vehicle wheels were more darker, with a rougher - speckled finish. Out of curiosity, I wiped the test car wheels and even polished it, but still different.

Is this related to the wheel porosity problem? Maybe in March / April Lexus started shipping wheels with different, better finishes? Or does all wheels get like that after a few months? If so, I'm not looking forward to my wheels looking so much daker in a few months...
