Hi Alan,
The group pointed me towards Duplicolor satin black. There are a few pics (shocking I know) of the finished product in my thread if you want to see.

You've mentioned that before but I don't think that I've heard anyone other than you reference that color. My coupe is a special grey brown in certain areas also, but I don't think that it came that way from the factory.
Just a thought on the grey-brown color; In a couple of my painting "errors" the clear coat can give a brownish tint to silver, I have not noticed it on other colors (even white) but that may be the issue?
The wheels in the attached pic are two piece Alpina softlines. They were never black or brown in the center. They are a silver color in the center with a factory alpina lug plate. I painted mine black since I didn't have the plate and wanted to sell the wheels.
The FPS and the Alpina wheels have black centers (on e9's anyway). You can't go wrong with satin black.

Shouldn't that wheel have metal style valve. IIRC the hole for the valve is thicker than normal and the rubber valve stems don't fit properly.
They have been tight for 4 months
but steel would be good when i have them painted
my wheels centers have always been that color for 30 YRS.
i like it black is boring to me in the center
rubber valves 35 yrs since i owned the car
