I bought rs wheels midnight silver for my 1lt non rs a couple weeks back and I finally just got them on today. These wheels were flawless like brand new no curb rash or scratches or anything. So the first time I look at these wheels on the car first thing I realize is that they're two different colors!!! Of course i couldnt tell looking at them in my garage but two wheels are midnight silver and two are the regular painted silver! I'm pissed and I don't know what to do? Any ideas? I definitely do not want to be driving around with two different color wheels on. Idk to get two painted to match or hopefully find someone to trade please help me.

Which two are of varying colors? Is it the fronts or backs or both?

Ryan_11 · 10-03-2012, 01:11 PM

On the driver side its the rear thats painted silver and on the passenger side it's the front that's painted silver

I want to but idk what I would say?? The guy who sold them is over 70 yrs old I doubt he knew anything about that. I have a feeling it's the place who took off the wheels for him that had something to do with this

For the time being, I'd put the two matching wheels on the same side, therefore from looking at it from side to side, they'd match. Wouldn't be as noticeable. Do that until you figure out what to do with them.

BiG_TiMe · 10-03-2012, 05:35 PM

just paint them. no big deal

Jcm · 10-03-2012, 05:37 PM

Been there done that, the same thing happened to me, as I bought to 9s for the front.i simply put them both on the same side as Kevin said. Not noticeable.the guy I bought mine from had a rs mine is a ss may be difference, maybe someone knows. Discount tire swapped mine out only charged me $20.total ,balanced, reset tpms,remounting both tires.

Yeah that's what I did so on drivers side I have midnight silver and on passengers side I have painted silver. Now I either have to find someone to swap with or discount tire did mention that they could get someone to paint the two wheels to match the midnight silver for $90 a wheel. Don't know if that's a good idea or not?

$46 for the plasti-dip wheel kit with glossifier(sp) gives a unique look to the parts somewhat black chrome-ish, or $25 for just the matte black wheel kit, and a couple weeks for the guy to ship the stuff to you, he is painfully slow to ship at dipyourcar.com, or go to lowes and pick some up, plastidip them matte black, no one will know they're true identity...
