OEM 19s - Different finishes ?

[Sharkroy]

I've noticed some OEM 19s that are darker/almost hyper-black looking, and I've seen sets that are brighter silver in finish. Were there 2 different choices (or are '05s any different than 06 or 07?). Or do the differences mean that they have been refinished/repaired? Which color is correct?

Yes.

Brighter silver ones. OEM 19's never came hyper-black looking.

Well for my 06 coupe, I got the chrome finish. I doubt the ever made a black finish. I think you're just mistaken it for brake dust

I didn't mean for it to sound like a black finish, just darker gray -- yes, like as if they were brake dusty, but even when they are clean.

You mean like the finish on the OEM 18's? They've always looked a little darker to me.

I know what you mean. My OEM 19's seem to be a darker silver then some I've seen on darker colored cars.
