'Black style' 398 wheels - how black?

Considering these for my 320i msport, but I'm confused by the phrasing of 'black style' on BMW UK's website. I'm also confused because when searching, orbit grey keeps popping up.

So are these orbit grey, black, or something in between? Was orbit grey something the US market got (thats where I've been seeing references to it)

and while I'm here ..

When I play with the BMW configurator and switch from the 398 to one of the other wheels, the configurator pops up saying it has added run flat tyres. Does that mean the 398s come with standard tyres? (If I click again on the 398s, the configurator does not say it is removing RFT though..)

I'm in the UK so they're a £165 standalone option on the msport. I'd guess they'd come with the same tyres though, so thats good info (I suppose the BMW configurator is wrong)

could be just the configurator issue. i have noticed "glitches" now and then on the USA configurator. showing incorrect configurations and options.
