what are these wheels?

I looked in the 2017 Brochure and order guide and could not find a reference to these wheels. They're the same color as the car, magnetic grey. Also no mention of wheels on the window sticker. How were they even ordered?

Those wheels are just a stock MKZ wheel that was offered at some point mid year, so it wasn't included in the sales brochure.

Fusionff is correct. I looked at the 2018 brochure and the wheels show up there. Can’t understand how they could market a high end car to supposedly discerning customers without telling them what wheels the car comes with.

very different in Audi and BMW world.

I don't remember when it was, but those were originally painted silver, and they later changed the color.  They probably did it because in silver, they looked like Pep Boys wheel covers.  It was a big improvement, IMO. 

 

They're not going to have new brochures printed each time they make a mid-year or running change.  There is a disclaimer in the brochures saying that they reserve the right to make changes at any time without prior notice.
