Default Speedline wheels

Quick question on the 02-04 Speedline wheels. Did they come in different shades of the factory finish?

I bought 4 of them from a member on here and they are all the Speedlines based on the markings on the back. But 2 of them look quite a bit darker than the others. These wheels were painted at one point, but what I'm looking at seems to be the factory finish?

See attachment for pic.

Thanks.

Argent silver was the only color with the exception that you could also get polished for an extra cost in 2004

Edit: I believe it is actually argent grey, not silver

I believe the polished Z-06 wheels were only available with the 2004 Commemorative Edition (Z-16) - one year of production.
