I drove to OE replica wheels last winter. Very nice people. The wheels are a bit brighter/lighter in color. Actually I liked the color better. They offered to let me put the 19/9 on the car to verify fit over the brembo as they felt it would fit...just couldn't guarantee it. Didn't take the option because I didn't want to buy due to the color difference.
My fronts and wheels aren't the same tone on my car unless Im fresh from a car wash. Front dust is insane, make them look way dark so I'm already used to seeing the rears brighter than fronts
