Hi people,

I am buying 4 Sport model original wheels (paint is flaking/chipping) tonight ($250 for 4 wheels and 4 Goodyear All Seasons tire). I would like to know if there any way to find out what is the exact specific color used for the wheels? I tried a silver paint for my winter wheels, but they are too grey for me...not like an alloy wheel.

Let me know. Thanks.

This tutorial mentions a spray paint that was similar in color to their wheels.

Where'd you find a deal like that? Tires alone cost more than that on 18s

Well actually the tires are no good...not sure if I am going to buy the rims. I usually put 17 during the winter...I would have to put 18 as well.
