i have an oem set of X wheel manufactured in 89 and they are nearly perfect. they have been in a box individually wrapped for many years. i believe the shading on the wheels is a dark grey. i'll double check tomorrow and post pics of the wheels on my FB's for comparison.

Thanks TT, I need to stop at Home Depot on my way home today, I'll see what they've got in gunmetal gray.
I'm thinking of just carefully brushing on a high quality enamel. Doing all that masking for spray paint is probably to much work, a good brush job should be very hard to notice.

I redid one of my + wheels. I used Dupli-Color Wheel Coating Graphite. They sell it at the parts store. http://www.jegs.com/i/Duplicolor/318...0002/-1?CT=999

Well finding some graphite or gun metal gray spray paint turned out to be a pain in the ***, nobody has any.
So I went with black. Michael and acekid7 were right after all, it's the perfect color
The hand painting wasn't a good idea either, so I went with masking, taking off the tape tomorrow.
