Alright someone had the courage to get the gunmetals! I've been wondering how they look. The HDR effect might be misleading. I would've picked gunmetal over silver just because silver is common. But because I have black aero pieces I had to go black to complement.
Mine are also 17" and the 18.4 lbs. figure is approximate based on subtracting the weight of the package (without the wheel) from the total package weight listed on my shipping invoice. I still want to get the weight of the wheel alone if no one else does it first. Mine don't turn out great in most pics I take (black hides the spoke detail) but with the right lighting and a good photographer, they can look better than in person. :p
