I assume you mean the non-Nismo or GT wheels. Here's what I know, or at least what I've been told:

The color is called "hypersilver," and is not a normal paint. It contains lead, so is not available for sale in the US. Your situation may be different. Anybody in the US who is "refinishing" these wheels is not using the original product. Maybe they can come close, but isn't the same stuff. Dunno about Europe.

Good luck.

thank you for your answer ... in europe it's the same problem, nobody knows the right colour and anybody who scratches the wheels has to take another colour ...

hmmm ... okay ... well my insurance has to pay a new rim ...

thanks!

The problem is that Nissan doesn't have a real color code for wheel paint. On the older wheels (03-05), the GM Ultrasilver was the closest match.
