I used the same Krylon dull aluminum on my wheels. It's a great match. Had to go to a couple hardware stores to find it.

It's hard to get paint down into the seam without getting runs so what I did was use a very small detail paint brush and paint the seam and then used the spray can to do the rest. The wheels will get rusty in the seams if you don't prime and paint in there.

Here are some pics to help everyone out in the future if looking to buy a set of the Wheel Vintiques Rallyes:

1. Out of the box is on the left. Repainted with Rallye Wheel paint on the right:


2. Wheel Vintiques center cap on the left. "Restorer's Choice" from Classic Industries on the right. You can see the hue difference and the RC cap is much heavier, with the center applique shipped not attached so it won't get scratched.


3. Close up of the hue/texture difference. Like night and day.


4. Out of the box WV on the left. Painted and RC on the right.

Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.
