Finish choice plays a major role in the final appearance of forged wheels. Two of the most popular finishes from BC Forged are Satin Brushed Grey and Satin Graphite Grey. Both finishes offer a refined, high-end look, but they differ in tone, depth and visual character.
In this comparison, we look at two real-world examples: BC Forged EH675 in Satin Brushed Grey and BC Forged EH201 in Satin Graphite Grey.

Satin Brushed Grey — technical and refined
Satin Brushed Grey is a finish that highlights the machining and structure of the forged wheel. The brushed texture reflects light subtly, giving the wheel a technical and high-precision appearance.
This finish works especially well on performance cars where the goal is a clean and sophisticated look without excessive contrast.
Key characteristics:
- Visible brushed texture
- Medium grey tone
- High-end technical appearance
- Subtle reflections in sunlight
Example wheel: BC Forged EH675
Satin Graphite Grey — deeper and more aggressive
Satin Graphite Grey has a darker tone and a more uniform surface compared to brushed finishes. It creates a more aggressive look while remaining understated and elegant.
Because the finish absorbs more light, it emphasizes wheel design and concavity rather than surface texture.
Key characteristics:
- Darker grey tone
- Smooth satin surface
- More aggressive appearance
- Strong contrast on lighter cars
Example wheel: BC Forged EH201
Side-by-side comparison
When comparing Satin Brushed Grey and Satin Graphite Grey directly, the differences become clear.

- Satin Graphite Grey emphasizes shape and depth
- Brushed finishes feel lighter and more technical
- Graphite finishes feel darker and more aggressive
Both finishes are durable and suitable for daily driving as well as performance use.
Which finish should you choose?
The best choice depends on the look you want to achieve.
- For a refined OEM+ appearance → Satin Brushed Grey
- For a darker, sportier look → Satin Graphite Grey
Wheel finish should also be considered together with suspension, tire profile and overall vehicle color.
Why finish choice matters
Finish is often the detail that defines the entire build. Two identical wheels can look completely different depending on color, texture and hardware finish.
Careful selection ensures the wheels complement the car rather than overpower it.
