Default c5 wheel paint

I'm curious if different wheel paint codes were used for different years of C5's. A friend has an '00 and I have an '01. Both cars have painted wheels, but the colors are very different. The 2000 are a much lighter silver with more metallic than the 2001. I would like to paint my wheels the lighter color. Any ideas about the 2 paint codes? Thanks

Thanks for the info. The paint codes may be the same, but the colors are much different, and the metallic content is way different. I think maybe a set of chrome wheels could be the answer
