OEM Paint in California sells the correct "argent silver/green" for your 69 in rattle cans. Chuck

When the wheels were painted back then they added a bit of moss green. There are variations of the correct wheel color because they didn't have a consistant amount they added. You can go to your local dupont store and have them mix up the code for argent silver and blend in the moss green, which should be in their books. Some of the argent silver is just that silver and doesn't have that correct green hue.

The PPG code is 8568. Originally it was a laquer but you'll most likely use enamel now.
Or you could always have it shipped to your door by a fellow forum member probably for a much better price.
