What wheel color is it ?

Can some one tell me the color on these wheels and whether they are painted or powder coated ?

Btw the car is long gone so don't start asking about : How much for the car "

Thanks

It can really just be called "gunmetal' or "anthricite". Most painters go by those colors.

Sportec calls it Anthracite. Search GP7 too and you'll see a very similar color called gunmetal.

I cannot believe that people leave the center caps unpainted it just looks so out of place.
For those that arent aware, here is a repost of my 30 minute (drying time not included) DYI for the center caps.

Take the center caps off, and lightly sand them with 600 grit sand paper (see pic with 2 caps, top one is sanded, so dont expect to see too much difference. Be careful dont touch the crest, the chrome is easy to scratch).

Carefully mask the P crest with flexible tape (so you can bend it around the curves, cut corners carefully with a blade).

Buy can of matte finish black paint and matte varnish.

Spray the caps from all angles from a distance of at least 30-40 centimeters and allow to dry for a couple of hours.

Then spray the varnish, or else it is likely that the matte color will scratch off. If you have patience, wait 2 more hours and spray another coat.

See below for visual aids.

They are matte black. The pics you linked are not black. They are grey
