I was in the same boat as you. The shop said they could find the code, but they ended up painting them hyper silver. My advice is to either leave the original paint on, if at all possible, or find a shop that mixes their own paint while matching. GL though.

Volk, Brembo and even Nissan OEM wheels have no published paint codes. You'll have to find a rattle-can that comes close or get somebody to mix and match.

BTW - for the older 03-05 painted wheels, GM Ultrasilver is a very good match.

here's an idea if you really really "have to have" a Rays color.. you can purchase a painted flat center cap from a Rays Dealer in Formula Silver, then take that to your painter to have your wheels color matched..
Rays will not release their color codes....

Great idea. You shouldn't have a problem selling them on here when you're done either.
