Either Atomic Silver or Grey, I would go to a Toyota dealership, yes Toyota it's the same exact bottles of paint in Lexus dealer for less money, go to part department and tell them you want to buy a touch up paint, but don't know what color and tell them to come out to look at the car, now you show them the wheel's spot, they'll let you know the closest color.

General speaking, a Lexus touchup paint will come in pair with 2 bottles, base coat and clear coat, it costs like $20 - $30 for both.

For that small ding I would bring to a rim shop they may fix it for $50 buck or less and it look perfect...

Well screw them then, go to Toyota get your touch up bottles and Youtube how to do it, your rims will keep chipping and scratching so here you go.

With that deep of chip, I would use base coat (several layers, wait 30 mins or more between each, depend on where u at), waiting at least 24 hours then apply clear coat, it will shine like new LMAO
