I have found a couple of local wheel guys / body shops that will paint my 20" 214 wheels. But they need a paint code from me. It has been impossible to find out the Ferric Grey (as used on wheels) paint code from BMW.

BMW has produced many greys/grays over the years. Does anyone, pretty familiar with BMW paints, have a suggestion as to what paint code might be closest to this Ferric Grey that's used on the wheels?

I've attached some pictures:
1. BMW picture of a X5 21" 215 in Ferric Grey. (I don't think that the wheels look this "silvery" in real life).
2. An xoutpost member's picture of his original Ferric Grey wheel.
3. KYZRSOSE's pictuure of wheel that he had painted by paint matching to Ferric Grey.
4. KYZRSOSE's X5. Mine is also Space Grey with 214 wheels and this is the look that I'm going for (without running boards).

Thanks!
