Take the tire to an automotive paint shop. They can scan it with their computer and get so close you will never see the difference.
As far as I know, there was never a color for the gold stripe on the trim tag.

I haven't seen a repop tire that uses the right shade of gold. I haven't seen them all though.

Gary,

I got the PM.

Thank you, I will be going to get a swatch hand see how it looks.

I do appreciate the effort, I may be able to make a white wall gold if all goes well.
