Don't really look any different than the normal Arc-8 color.

Agreed.

But that is a sick car. Is the owner on the forums?

It is very similar. The Apex Anthracite has more of a gold shine to it while this is more of a pure grey with a metallic flake in it.

Not sure what you mean. These a Apex wheels come in a more aggressive fitment than your OEM setup but not enough to run into any rubbing issues.

I think the color is very good. APEX Anthracite really blends right in with the space grey calipers in pictures I have seen. This looks much better IMO.

as a guy with a space grey car car I would not buy APEX Anthracite wheels, but would buy these.

Yeah this looks really good. One of my biggest complaints with APEX has been the colors they offer. It may not be important to some, but it is to me. This is a great choice, just wish it came as a stock offering from the company!

Well Apex offers Satin Black, Silver, Anthracite and Hyper Black. We can powdercoat them any finish you want

Takes about 3 days for us to powdercoat them
