I'm in the market to find out and if I do I will be sure to share. Let the search begin.

Send APEX an email, they have great customer service. That's where I would start my search.

I did... they do not know the paint code and their supplier will not give it to them.

May have to bring a wheel to an automotive paint store to have it matched.

This could be close but a 30 dollar bet is hard to swallow.

Yeah Apex was no help to me either. I bet you could get damn close with one of the Duplicolor spray cans at Autozone. They have several medium gray/silver colors.

Here's an almost perfect match. It might be perfect.

Dupli-Color BTY1614 Phantom Grey Pearl (1E3)

Spray a sheet of white paper to get the true color. Keep in mind that the more you monkey around with spray can metallics like this the darker the end result will be.
