Default ??? - paint code - 96 CE wheels

i'm getting ready to re-coat a set of 96 CE wheels, but i'm having one hella time finding the factory paint code. is the (silver) color the same as the 96 CE body? i'm thinking i may have to take one of these things down to the automotive paint store for a computer match, but since they are sanded, not sure if that's even possible. thought about powder coating, but ruling that out because of the cost. any help out there?

They are painted to match the body color, so i would say they are Sebring Silver also.

They are not SS, but painted Silver looks 10 times better than OEM gray/steel paint.

To the OP, Is this for NCRS? If not look into paint them a Silver color of your choice.

It's been so long since i've had the originals on i thought they were Sebring Silver. I have my originals packed away, i like the chrome replicas so much better, but everyone's opinion varies.
