difference in wheels

[slipknot490]

I have a question for you guys. I just got my car back from the body shop and part of what they did was replace the front right wheel. I think they got it used somewhere, because thats what the estimate says. Anyway, my question is whether there is a very slight difference in the silver color on a 2003 rim compared to a 2004. I look at them and the replaced wheel is almost a dull silver grey color as mine are " bling bling " bright silver. Anyone had them side by side?

Is yours chrome?

Because the rims are painted, there is that possibility that they won't match. Tell the body shop to match it.

No, they are not chrome. I guess they are powder coated but not sure. The difference is slight so I don't want to throw a major fit over it but still, it looks different than the rest.

Complain directly to the body shop first then if nothing is being done about it then Call your insurance company get them to sort it out ........ if you are nice to the bodyshop they might be willing to match the wheels .....if you can get them to piant them all for a small fee out of your pocket then have them all painted .......gunmetal......or body color.......or Black.... this maybe the oppertunity for change..
