Default Any way to get color of 2000-01 Stock rims

Hi everyone, dont know if anyone here would know this or even if its possible. Im probably going to be picking up a set of DC5R rims for my RSX, the problem with them is I dont like the white, it wont match my paint, and the silver looks too plain. So I was thinking of repainting them the same color as the 2000-01 DC2R color, the gray/gunmetal look. Well my question is, does anyone know the color code or type of paint that could use/get to paint the new rims that color? Thanks in advance.

I called Acura & Honda customer service, talked with 4 dealers & a wheel refinishing place. From what I'm told:

No automaker manufactures or paints their own wheels, it's all outsourced. Your best bet is to take an ITR wheel to a wheel refinishing place & have them color match.

My wheels are being refinished because of a local tire shop, I'm going through all of this right now. Best of luck to you, it's been a headache and a half for me.

best bet is to find a color code off a car, such as the new bettle, or f150 pickup truck and see if you like that gunmetal...
