Default '07 SI wheels

We had been trying to get a Ralleye Red Si with Nav for my wife since August of '06, and finally our Honda rep was able to special order us one that was not part of our dealership's allocation. When it hit ground at our dealership, I immediately noticed it had darker wheels versus the '06. The only thing we were schooled on as salesmen was the fact the '07's had VSA. I checked my little '07 car fact book for Honda salesman, and it stated 'darker wheel paint on '07 models'. I am glad we had to wait...the darker (closer to gunmetal) paint on the wheels looks great! We just got a white Si in, and the darker wheels look awesome. I started a thread because I haven't heard this mentioned.

Wow...someone actually said "It's a nice little update", instead of 'repost you retard'. Very nice...that goes over better.

They arent drastically different but enough to be noticeable(to most people anyway). Any 07+ Si has the darker finish wheels
