I was thinking about that just the other day. I'm not a fan of bling bling polished or chrome wheels (I have Comp Greys on my car) but I kind of like the style of those 2008/2009 gumbies and if they are in fact lighter than the other C6 rims powder coating them charcoal/grey/black could be a nice route to take.

Thanks for the clarification, guys.
I have the "Gumbies" on my 08, but I always prefered the looks of the 05-07 stock wheels.
