What color are the 6UL wheels in tungsten and beryllium? The web pics are so similar and close to silver, I can't tell. A mild grey to t would be great on my car.

They are the color you see in the pictures, really not sure how to better describe them in words. Perhaps side by side helps better see the difference. To my eye the Beryllium is certainly more bluish grey, the Tungsten brighter chrome-like.

I love these wheels and like the idea of the 225s. However, the options in 225/40 are limited. Options in 225/45 are much greater. However, I thought the 225/40s were the limit for plug and play. I see here you have the 225/45s. Is there a problem with the larger size?

Have run 225/45 and 235/40 in stock fenders of my wife's Supercharged RF....all the details on our ND wheel fitment page.
