I assume you've seen pictures but wonder what they look like in person? I'd say the best way to describe them is a "stainless steel finish" or "dark brushed nickel finish". They aren't bright silver like many other cars (although they sometimes look that way in pictures.) I liked them much better when I first saw them in person than when I was looking at pictures.

I actually just got my tC and a friend of mine wants my wheel color on some wheels he is refinishing. If anyone knows some Scion tech manual that might have the paint code or color name that would be great.

Love the wheels and so do people without tCs it looks like.

Couldn't find anything specific about the color. Sorry.

Thanks for looking! I'll see if I can find something close at the auto parts store and I'll let you know what I discover.

Scion describes them as "Black Chrome" theres more shine than black... but i could def. call them that , or even a very shinny gunmetal.

I think the color "Anthracite" is a close match.

looks more like gunmetal

reminds me of a "candy" kinda finish, the few times iv seen them they looked like they were bright silver, polished silver, dark grey, gunmetal... after a while i just say ... yea they're uh... heres a few pictures you tell me

i would say they're a black chrome/gunmetal chrome... not to chromed but black polish...

They are more of a smoke gray aluminum.

Did anyone have any luck matching the color? I curbed one of my rims and have been trying to repair it but I can't seem to find a good paint match.

*bump* anyone have a paint code or know of a paint available at an autostore that matches? thanks! :)

id say a gunmetal/dark chrome. i know the primer on the wheel is black tho from an encounter with a curb... :tap:

When I shopping for aftermarket rims I was looking for rims with the same finish as the stockers. I ended up buying hyper black rims from Motegi and they are almost a perfect match.

Graphite

I say titanium

IT IS TITTANIUM GRAY

I say titanium

^ He's right, it's aluminum wheels with a graphite finish. Or at least that's what I remember from the newest Scion magazine/brochure.

they call it hyper silver

do they make a ritalin silver rather then a hyper one?

Graphite

He's right, I just looked over my order today since my car's due to come in next week sometime, and it said something about graphite wheels.
