Re the paint code, it's a very good question. I never managed to find an answer to it myself. I have a friend who is in the car painting business and we mixed and blended to get it to match.

As far as paint on the market, you have three alternatives. Either get Würth silver paint that you suggested, or you can get the slightly cheaper Einzett Silber spray or you can go my route which is to go to any car dealer or paint shop and ask for Toyota "super silver" (Color code TOY166). This old MY94 Toyota silver color is VERY close to the original Porsche wheel color. Check for yourselves (with pics) from my DIY project in this thread:

The Worth Silver wheel paint is almost 100% correct.
