RH Graphite/Gunmental Color help...

Hi, I am currently shopping for some RH wheels but I have not been able to see them personally. I am interested in the graphite/gunmetal color and wanted to know if anybody owns this color. Is it a grey or a black?
Thanks

It's exactly what it says it is, gunmetal, it is more towards the dark gray side. Check the homepage in my profile for pics.

Hey Gdup, thanks for the offer and I think I'll take you up on it. I'm in RSM so I am really close to you. I drive by MV every day on my way home. So let me know what time/place works best for you.
Thanks again.

They are way darker than most "gunmetal" wheels. Most would call them a satin black if they were to see them for the first time. But not a glossy black like the Volk's. More like the lead in a pencil.

Truplay8, aren't those wheels black? I think that the description lists them as black. Is that black color close to the gunmental finish of the RH's?

Thanks puff, from what I can tell that is the best description of the color, a really dark grey or satin black.


Cru, thanks for the pics. I had seen your pics before in the sedan forum and compared to your black car they look just a tad lighter than the car itself. How would you compare them.

Definitely a very dark gray and yes, they are a little lighter than the G black.
