    I think wurth paint would be exact match. I used it on vw wheels.

    Would you consider painting the entire wheel to avoid trying to match? Probably would be a better finish all round.

    I think so it would be a better finish. Also I did 4 coats of clear.

    What wheels are they?

    Some of Opel wheels are diamond cut finish, your only option then is to have re cut for back to original finish.

    The paint is peeling off on one alloy
