Wheel paint color code
Just picked up this base IS200t and the wheels have minor curb rash which I'm thinking to fix myself but I'm not sure what color code will match these wheels any ideas fellows ? Thanks

It's not an easy one surprisingly. I searched long and hard.
Best bet may be to find something really close. I'd get Lexus / Toyota to help as well.
I have the 5-spoke design. Im not sure about yours as they look like a lighter color maybe, but mine are a 2-3 layers of paint to create 1 color.
The dark underneath, then topped with the grey-silver. The top coat is so delicate its been damaged from being washed. That's another story.

If I was trying to match this I would take it to the Napa Auto parts near me that has the scanner.
They can scan the rim and reproduce touchup paint in a bottle or rattle can. Likely it does match some paint out there...they would even be able to tell me what paint code it is if it exists in the market already...and not to say it's exclusively Lexus/Toyota.
I'm not sure what's available around you, but I'm sure there's gotta be a facility that has a scanner for paint.
