Rally wheel paint code????

I just took one of the hub caps off my 73 project & found that I have the stamped steel rally wheels. I'm going to get the center caps & trim rings but the paint is fairly bad. Is there a particular silver I should use?
It's a driver, not a show car.
The hub caps look kinda like a turbine fan with the corvette "flags" emblem in the center. Was this an upgrade or a downgrade from the rally wheels?

As usual, thanks very much

Most of the major parts suppliers carry a ralley wheel paint. I am not sure of the proper color in say Rustoleum or Krylon. Maybe another member will jump in.

The covers were an option. Whether that means upgrade or not is up the individual!

I prefer the Rallye...

I bought some from one of the vette vendors, and they put their label over the label on the can. One label was misplaced enough to see it's just a generic aluminum matt color.
