Default Rim Color Help!

Happy holidays everyone - unfortunately, 2 of my rims got destroyed by a curb hidden under thick white salt Christmas Eve.

Please, if anyone knows this point code/color name ​​​/something identical, I would greatly appreciate input. It is powdercoated (not chrome) definitely towards graphite.

Thank you in advance!

Is this a blackline edition IS? Assuming not since it doesn't have the triple beams

If not, just take it to a wheel shop and tell them to match it

Its not a black edition (sadly). I had the wheels custom done at a shop thats really expensive. I wanted the hyperblack chrome but they advised against due to roads in the area, and pointed to this as a substitute.They claim to have some proprietary hyper black powder coating, which I think might be bs.

My hope is someone can name a color thats the same/almost identical I can point cheaper/still quality wheel repair shops to. Some seem to be a little hesitant due to the color not having a factory code.

I assume the wheels are in good shape, still? No bending?
