Default OZ SL - different silver finishes?

I'm looking at OZ SL 17x8 et35 wheels for my UrS6 Avant. The picture and description at The TireRack indicate a bright silver finish, where other photos I've seen show a matte silver. (I've also seen matte grey and gold). Are there two different silver finishes? Has the bright silver superceded the matte, or are they both available? I don't want to end up having a hard time finding a replacement if one gets damaged. If there really are two different silvers, which looks better? I had some Mille Miglia Cellos on my 4KQ which were a very bright silver, and looked great (when clean).

Default There is "bright silver" and "light gray." The 17x8 light gray wheels were discontinued.

They are not matte, but I could see how one might think that from looking at the photos on the website. OZ stopped making that color in that particular wheel. The Tire Rack bought the last batch, and sold their last four 17x8 light gray SLs to me.
