I touch up my wheels with the same titanium silver paint as the car- it matches almost perfectly.

Look for Wurth paint and clearcoat for BMW wheels. You can try a search on this forum or bimmerfest.com.

Wurth was the correct match, then they screwed up their paint (defective cans because the metal flakes were too big) and they had to pull it from the shelves for about a year. Now it's back for sale again, and presumably matches. Einsett (1Z) also matches. 1Z doesn't make a clear but it is compatible with the Wurth clear.

Use either of these paints:

And cover with this clear:

To do it properly, you should sand, clean, prime, then paint and clear. Do your wheels OFF the car, or cover/mask off as much of the car as possible before spraying. This paint gets everywhere otherwise.
