Hah, interesting! Let's face it though, they look black, not gun-metal. As I mentioned, I can see them being described as a very dark grey. In any case....they look black - albeit a very glossy black. :-)

To be clear... I'm not trying to suggest your opinion is wrong. If you had said you like the aesthetics of the Z base rims more than the Bugatti rims, no one could say you're wrong.

To be honest, I think the new Civic rims give a lot more of the same style impression that then Bugatti - though in the end, they're all quite different.

I don't honestly see any similarity in the Bugatti - they....are both round...with spokes....
