Rim color help
For those of you who have reconditioned your 5.5 gen oem rims, what paint did you use? I contacted Wurth customer service and they told me they don't have anything to specifically match but they recommended the European Laquer Silver. Can anyone tell me if the color matches or if there are any other recommendations? I remember reading one post a while back about a guy here that does autobody and said he had a hard time with this paint but I've searched the last 40 pages of posts and can't find it. One more question, do these wheels have a clearcoat on them also? Sorry if this may have been answered before, I've searched for over an hour.
Thanks.
Thanks.

and yes, the wheels are clearcoated.
Not sure about the color. I was planning on calling Dave B about it sometime.

I have a scuffed wheel like that too. I need to do mine. How do we find out what color our wheels are? I have a 2000 GLE with the 16inch 5 spoke rims. I would think that the 5.5 gen and the 5 gen are the same color because I have 5.5 gen center caps on my wheels. SO any help with paint matching would be appreciated.
