You can get the powdercoated from WedsSports. They offer it.

But yeah from the Weds factory they do not come in any other color than Titan Silver. They do sometimes make limited runs of other colors here and there though.

Gruppe-S sell them in gunmetal, I was in the same boat as you. Not sure when their next order will be but they should be able to take care of you. Not the best picture but here are mine

Are those smaller than OEM? For some reason to me it looks like a lot of gap in between the top of the tire and the rear fender

Maybe it's just the angle the picture was taken!

I absolutely won't run 16"s, I must be picky

They are way too small IMO

17x9 +35 with 245/40, but its was on stock suspension, potentially uneven ground. That should be better, lowered ~1" even ground

I love that setup. I would love to get a front lip spoiler and drop the car an inch but I'm afraid I'll scrape on my driveway which has a pretty big lip/bump... I'm going to have to figure something out...

Too small for what? They clear OEM brakes handily, and a 225/50 is the same diameter as the factory setup (actually, just a fuzz taller). If anything, the taller sidewall fills up the fender openings better, visually...

16's for the win.

Only thing i don't like about 16" is that MPSS are not available for them, otherwise yes, going 16" might seem counterintuitive but can be nice upgrade. Especially in form of TWS T66-F with 10.63lbs weight

At this point it sounds like you are not racing

I plan to go to many track days but it's also my everyday driver.

16's are ugly in my opinion. Sorry
