Rim colour

Hi,
I'm repairing the chips on my stock rims(17inch ones), does anyone know what colour spray paint best matches the original? Thanks.

Wow that was beautifully painted and repaired.

Makes me want to go out and scrape some alloy wheels so I can fix'em.
Well, maybe not.

I've done much the same for some fiercely scraped up wheel covers on my old 91' Dodge caravan. New wheel covers were $105 each from the dealership. My wife hit a metal piece on the freeway got a flat tire and lost two wheel covers so I bought two new ones from a private source (the wheel hub man) for $65 each. They looked so nice I had to paint and repair the other two remaining covers and make them match. Same deal, sand, mask, primer, paint silver, paint clear coat. Looked really nice.
