Yup! I should have gotten that color back then. It's a lot darker than space gray.

Op,
Nice wheels man. Fits the car really well.

Same here man...

Sparkling Graphite wasn't a popular color because it tended to come out as brown under direct bright sunlight.

In the shade though, it's definitely a winner. Like the pics. Don't drop it. If you are happy with how it is now, absolutely don't touch the ride height.
