Default Wheels - Not Chrome

Been looking for wheels for my Vette, and now it is time for tires.
Looking for a different wheel, not one everyone has.
I do not want chrome, or black.
I like the color of the comp grey wheels on the C6 (or a little darker color than that).
BTW my Vette is yellow

Want all 18's or 18/19's (just not sure if I can put 335's on the 19's with no modifications)

Post up pictures if you have something like this.

Thanks

I have chrome Forgeline S03P's... but you can pick and choose your favorite combo...

Here's a thread to help too... I didn't see any other Forgelines in it....

Probably looking for gunmetal color then-darker the comp grey wheels but lighter than black. Try going to Boze wheels , you can custom color your wheels.
