How do I determine the actual color (Hyper, Hyper Smoke) of my original 2008 Roadster wheels?

Well you can post them on here and let us look at them. That would help.

The OEM color is tough to match correctly because it's got a blacknbase layer and a somewhat translucent silver top layer.

Like a smoked chrome.

Antique brass metallic?

You got new wheels?.. Those are nice.

2008 Roadster = Hyper Silver. You won't be able to get the exact same paint here since the wheels were painted in Thailand using a lead-based paint. There are close matches available though. You can get a decent 2-part rattle can version of an EPA-approved Nissan Hyper Silver from the Eastwood Company, if I recall.

EDIT:
Jeebus, why didn't I read the date of the OP's question before answering it?

Well it's not as bad as the one you answered last week from 2003.

Eyegor, you haven't been here long enough to know that Zak is the my350Z semi-unofficial-replica restorer of dead threads and therefore the 14 year old bump was in his unofficial official capacity?

Oh, and you should also know he's the my350Z keeper of Celebratory Holidays for the Obscure; and if you need info on any and every tool ever made for any porpoise - including electronical-electromantic ones - he's the gooroo (and likely owner of at least one) of same.

Ahh, stupid me. How could I forget?.. smh Carry on, zak. Carry on.
