Couldn't find what colour grey you had them?
i had a local shop custom paint them in the same fashion like that of the Lexus ISF wheels pictured below:



It is actually a two-step, two-paint process. i picked a very dark gray color, then picked a lighter silver paint for a light top coat. up close, you can barely notice that there are two different paints on the wheel, and it takes a very steady hand to get this process correct. BUT, it causes a drastic flop in sunlight. it looks like a metallic wheel in direct sun, and in dimmer light it appears like a dark gun metal (almost black) wheel. i have to say, i'm extremely happy with the results! it's hard to take pictures of, but tried my best above.
