Thanks..

Car is pewter, but that color is very similar I believe.. You can get a brand new set of Forgestars for around $1,500 or so.. Best bang for the buck wheels on the market if you ask me..Best part is they are about 18 lbs a piece too.

Desert Silver is actually quite different from Pewter.

Pewter has more grey in it, Desert Silver is more like old man beige.
