Default 06-07 18'' Wheel Question

Did Lexus make a dark gray/gunmetal colored 18'' wheel (the 5 spoke ones) in 06-07? Not the standard silver or chrome....but like a sportdesign gray.

Not to answer my own question but I am talking about these:

Were they an option or special edition?

I am pretty certain that all 06 07s came with the hyper silver finish and that darker finish was not on the cars. I dont even now why they make that extra finish. At $1900 a set they are a bit steep....maybe at $900 they would be a bit more reasonable.

I don't think those are the same as the OEM ones. The details are different.

Just drive around for a week and then carefully swap the wheels front to back. They'll have enough brake dust on them to make them the darker color.

Yup, I have those on my 2009 GS460. They are gun-metal and darker than the previous 2008 430's.
