Default Liquid Graphite Wheels?

Sorry for the Noob question, but I was curious, so I figured I'd ask here first. I got a set of wheels, but wasn't too sure on which ones they are. They're off an '08 IS350, and was wondering how you can tell if they're the Liquid Graphite color. It looks to be silverish/gunmetalish with a slight metallic finish. Does the IS350 wheels come with a standard silver finish and the Liquid Graphite? They're 18x8 (fronts) and 18x8.5 (rears). Here's a couple pics:


This picture was taken with the flash on:



Also, what's the offset on these, front and rear? I looked on the back, is it a +50? Sorry for the rookie questions. Thanks in advance.
