Thanks for the input! I have done quite a bit of research and am very confident there was a color change about 2020-2021. After talking with experienced wheel refinishers, they say the factory finish is multistage with silver over a black base and very hard to duplicate, a minor change in the application process or paint vendor could have resulted in the color variation. It is difficult to see the difference in pictures of due to varying light sources. The easiest way to see the difference between the earlier and later color versions is to compare the color of the wheel to the center caps which remained the same over the years. As you can see in the picture below my 2018 wheels are darker and much closer to the black center caps where the ones on the 2023 ZL1 in the background are more silver than the center caps.
