That's true about the chromium black being lighter now. It's more of a glossy, darker gunmetal than a chrome black look. You shouldn't worry about a mismatched set though. I'm pretty sure that was from people who needed a replacement wheel after XXR had switched manufacturers. All the wheels now match. Although I was hoping for a darker chromium black, I'm actually extremely happy with the finish anyways. I guess it's grown on me...and to be honest it's not really a light finish. It's still dark, just not as dark as the old ones
