Bump up from tires, wheels & brakes: What's the paint code for white wheels?

What is the paint code for white wheels? It is not the roof color 899 "alpine white" (for which a Sherwin Williams code has been identified). Does anyone know? I've bumped this post up from "Tires, wheels and brakes" to "General Mini", hoping to reach a larger audience.

Thanks, and regards,

Don't know the code, but I believe it is the same color as the white top. Somewhere I read it was BMW alpine white....

Looks like you are not getting the answer you want, find someone with a MINI with white wheels and go by a auto parts store that mixes paint. Most shops with mixing capabilities have a gun they can shoot the paint with and the computer will give you best match.

Roof and wheels are not the same color..

Sure. I will take one of my OEM wheels to the paint store if they have a scanner. I'll post the PPG code if it all works out.

Well not after the first whiff of brake dust hits them.

Paint shop scan is a great idea.
