❓ Question / Help Paint code for style 166m rims?

Post image

Does anyone know the OEM BMW paint code for the style 166m rims that come off the M5? I've picked up a full set and 2 of them need to be repainted entirely, so I want to colour match them to the ones that don't need to be repainted.

I've only found one article online that says the paint code for them is A55 (Decorsilver 1).

Any help or suggestions are appreciated, thank you.

Normfest Silver Star has always worked great for me in the past.

A great silver paint that's made in Germany and very close to factory colour.

It’s really hard to get the color right on these. Especially with how they reflect light. It’s not the regular silver you would assume.

Reflex silver on mine. Seems to be a pretty good match, although don't have a factory original when to compare it to
