True or False Question
I am looking to buy some wheels and was told that Argent and Comp Grey are the same color just different paint mfg. I thought Argent was more of a silver color.

Argent is more of a silver/lt grey color. Comp grey is a dark grey.

Just buy the wheels you like regardless of what the color is called.

Two different colors. Argent is lighter than Comp Gray and darker than silver.
