Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...but I think they are pretty much the same thing. But I would say that gunmetal would be a lil darker????

Gunmetal vs. charcoal... hrm. I call the color charcoal because that's what HRE calls the it.

Thanks for the compliments on the wheels. I didn't mean to hijack the colorchange's thread, I wanted to provide an alternative to the usual silver, polish or black Like colorchange, I agonized over the color I wanted my wheels. I'm not too hot on fully polished or chrome wheels, so I was looking at black with a polished lip. My buddy, who sells HREs, showed me some pics of the charcoal finish offered and I was sold

The only picture I have was still in progress.



In the picture, there are no rear fender liners installed yet. They were still out while I was working on the tub in the rear (2.5" on each side).

I plan to lower the front a little more (it's 3/4" lower than stock already), but can't go far due to the lower airdam and my air/water cooler mounted down low in the front.
