Just load the picture into Photoshop, and use that eye dropper thing and then use that to find the hex code for that color.

BTW: Powers1 why do you suggest using sand paper? Won't that scrap off the clear coat off the rims??!
I suggest using 1500 or 2000 wet sand paper with loads of water.
It will not "scrap" off the clear coat because it will only take off the oxidation ,or in this case,the brake dust, on the top layer of the clear coat.
Below this you will still have the next layer of your clear coat which will have to be polished out.
This is a safe process to remove any surface scratches or oxidation from most metal or plastic painted surfaces. Done this for years and its a trick that most paintshops use ,sometimes to trick unawareing customers that they actually resprayed a panel ,when all they did was "polish it out".
I posted a Thread under "polishing your headlights",where I explain this process and also have pictures before and after.

You can try this on small place inside the wheel,first?
