Mine were gray/silver and black but I forgot to study before I had them blasted.Would love to hear from somebody who's painted these and kept track of the exact paint used or please give a good description from an original painted wheel.

i forget who it was but someone in the t3 forums used a gm silver that was very fine metallic and then detailed with a straight gloss black. looked GREAT. i wouldn't worry about being 100% correct. i think the light metallic gave the silver portion a nice little punch(many factory silver wheels have the same slight metallic to them) over just a plain silver. maybe just look for options in that realm that look good to YOU and go with it....ken....

I used reflex silver (VW color code) for my 4 nuts sprint
in rattle can bought at my parts store with satin black. Pics of the same treatment but in base and clear coat on a 5 nuts rim
