Default Steel Wheel Color

I have a set of steel wheels on my '73 with the hub caps that I would like to finish. What color paint can I use to do them in silver again? Here is a picture of them and don't say "SILVER" Matt! Thanks!

It is spooky looking at that car- it is a dead ringer for my dad's '71- he got it 6 months after I got mine...

(even came with those wheels, until we "upgraded" to the 4-spoke steelies which we painted the center's black)

I know you can use Napa Flat Black on fuchs according to some, but there must be a paint brand/color/paint number that works with these.

Wurth.

Ask over in the "concours" section on 914World. Pat Garvey seems to have quite a knowledge base about details like this one.

Wurth Silver is what we always use. Looks 100% original.
