best bet would be to pull the wheel and take it in to a paint supply shop and have them color match some paint. A good shop will be able to analyze the color for you and mix a match.

Everyone. I did some searching and I found a source for the Hyper Silver paint at Express Paint. At the bottom of their webpage, enter "hyper silver" into the Quick Search window. The results are a can of HYPER SILVER Rim Paint for $29.95. Give it a try.

ive seen this page... here is the warning. but worth a try if you want.
 "Note: This color is an original color of ExpressPaint and it is not meant to match OEM rim paint. " |
