Did Subaru change the OEM wheel colors?
I had a bit of an accident recently (not my fault!!) which required the driver side wheels to be replaced by the repair shop. After getting a new set of 18's, I went to sell my OEMs - problem is, the driver side ones are a slightly different color, charcoal grey vs. black (original). The replacement gray ones have the correct p/n ALY69621U30, which is why I'm wondering if anyone knows if Subaru changed the oem default color? My brz is from 2013.
Thanks |

Did you buy your car used? Maybe previous owner painted the wheels.

I did but it used with 2000 miles on it - it seems like it would be hard to paint with the machined aluminum face to cover, but that may be the best explanation.

I have a 2015 and the wheels are either the darkest charcoal grey i've ever seen, or a metallic black. When dirty they look grey.
