Default Tom Henry SS Wheels (the TT2's) what touchup color?

I have a set of Tom Henry look alike TT2 wheels on my Camaro. They have a few small chips mainly near where the lug nuts go. I'd like to touch them up. I tried duplicolor spiral grey mettalic but it seems a tad bit too dark. Anyone have an idea or a paint color/code I should try next? I am not looking to repaint these things anytime soon for 2-3 chips..

Here's a pic!

i once asked what color they were (thinking of copying the look) and someone at the dealership told me they were charcoal metallic. don't know the paint code or if you can get it in touch up paint.

I will see if I can find a charcoal mettalic. I had found a slightly lighter grey color at pep boys the last time I was there but didn't pick it up. If I wanted to ever repaint them I want to get the color as close as possible anyway. I'll see what I can find for a charcoal color.

I'd just try to get a color thats close in touch up, then wet sand and polish them. Should look brand new
