Got it.

The paint code for the wheels is, Kaiser Silver. At least that is what has been documented and discussed over the years.

Here's a photo of my Zanardi "WASHI" gray center caps compared to the CR centercaps, pretty spot on from what I can tell. I'll have to take closer pictures of the wheels side by side by side.

And the Zanardi wheel color: Disk, Aluminum Wheel (17X8 1/2JJ) (Washi Gray Me.) - Acura (42700-SL0-N60)

The thing is, nobody that I know has figured out the Washi gray color code!

My car was close to being a Type-S. It had CR suspension and wheels before, thou I have since sold those now.

From what I have found, the Type S also did not have the quicker CR/AP1 steering ratio. On a Best Motoring episode during a test on a faster track, the Type S was still 3 seconds faster than a standard AP2 due to its aero.
