JDM/EDM WRX "Gray" Wheel Color

The JDM/EDM market WRX's come with standard 17's in two different colors. One is normal Silver like this:


And the other is Gray/Champagne like this:


I have an 05 CGM WRX that has the stock wheels that match the CGM very well. I want to upgrade the wheels but I really want to keep this color. I found them at japanparts.com and they call the color "Gray" with this picture:


Are these wheels the same color/finish as my factory 05 USDM 16" wheels? Anyone that's seen these "Gray" wheels in person? Some people call them "Champagne," which describes my wheels pretty well, so I think (hope) they are the same finish. Does anyone have these wheels on a CGM?

TIA

Doing a little more research, I think these wheels were offered in Gray AND Champagne - two different colors. So are the ones from the japanparts link Gray or Champagne?

Anyone know where/how to get the Champagne ones???

These are JDM/EDM rims. You won't see them on US soil and they are hard to source. Your best bet is to go Japanparts. But if you don't want to get rape, then take down the name and parts # and do some hard searching on the net.

Good luck!

I've talked to Japanparts. They can't find this color without a specific Subaru part number. They have the silver and the gray, but not the Champagne.

I'm kind of at a dead-end now...
