So i've had extremely terrible luck with wheels and here is my story..

First off i order 4 Varrstoen es2.2.1 18x9.5 hyperblack wheels and when ordering these i then realize the day i receive them that they do not fit with stock springs(i'm getting coilovers later) so i decide to send back two of them so that the rear wheels will fit and then proceed to have a staggered wheelset so my front wheels are 18x8.5... so the day i receive those (after i sent back the other two) i look at them and they are two complete different shades.. One looks like a gray and one looks shiny silver. like so:

and then i realize i might as well send back the 18x9.5's and just put on a square setup of 18x8.5's (hoping that they are all from the same batch) and i told the people i ordered from (aspec wheels) and sent them pictures. They received the 18x9.5's and sent me the second set of 18x8.5's... i now received them and sadly my luck is still slightly bad. The wheels look slightly different depending on lighting but thats only if you put them together like so:

but in person they look quite similar, and i honestly don't know what i should do at this point so i decided to put them on and see if you people will really notice it. I'm hoping it won't be a major problem but i guess we'll see. I'm putting falken all season ziex 912's 225/40-18 on them

another picture that makes them look all the same:

Since they're square, just put the ones closest to each other colour wise on the same side of the car, no one will ever notice while running from side to side.

Yes. I could see the different too. You could put 2 same color on 1 side and the other 2 on the other side. I dont think you could tell the different.

I know "the waiting game" is always painful, but maybe send all 4 back this time get the same setup sent to you again, and there's a higher chance all 4 will be from the same batch and will match each other.
