I never could find the exact color documented anywhere for the wheels on my 2006 LS. I experimented with various rattle can silver paints and found something close enough but not exact. A close match will work if it is carefully faded and then lightly wet sanded. You will see it under close examination but no one else can. Unfortunately since we are moving I just threw out all my old rattle cans this week. I found the close match when a friendly parts place near my house (O'reillys) actually let me take several cans of silver out in the parking lot to spray a little of each on white cardboard to then hold up against my wheel..pretty sure it was one of the duplicolor silvers.

Thanks Jab.......ya thats what I am hearing.....dupi might do the trick. A wheel isnt something people stare at so I am thinking like u said.....just a fade of sorts....wet sand.....and clear coat....should do the trick. I will post back with the final results
