IIRC, either Einszett or Wurth had one that matched the wheels of the Maxima quite well.

What about factory touchup paint in one of the sliver colors I'm not sure of the name but the light metalic silver seems to be close

Have you tried it from personal experience to see if the match is close, and would it even stay on the wheel when it gets hot since its not a wheel paint?

Wurth German Alloy Silver Wheel Lacquer (Aerosal Can - fine spray)

Anyone use this on there wheels for touch ups. Does the color match the silver alloy wheels of the 6th generation car, & is it easy to control the area you want painted with its spray nozzle?

I wonder if this product will work from EBAY? Are cars use fine silver alloy paint right? (There were other ads on EBAY for course meduim metallic silver alloy paint, but it looked too dark/flaky.)

you could always just get a couple of cans of silver spray paint and just redo the 4 rims

Here's another ad showing a picture with it being applied to a wheel using the course medium metallic silver. (Are cars use the fine silver alloy paint I think in the above posted ad.)

Found this product on EBAY for a little more money. Probably would work better.

Hey landsend I've used Wurth Lacquer spray with decent results. With any spray it depends on the angle you spray and how many times you go over the affected area. After I got the hang of it the results weren't bad(tested it on my dad's beater first lol). My advice just test a small area or an older max or car just to see how you like it.
