Repainting my MIMAS 16s - where do I get the paint?

Hi,
Im going to repaint my MIMAS rims on my S60 and wanted to know if anyone knew what color spray paint I need to use?
IPD sells a silver spray paint for steel wheels - is this a good choice for mine? I did a search over at FCP Groton but came up empty handed. Any help would be great!
Thank you,
Milt

Volvo sells 4 different silvers in wheel spray paint
It may cost you a little bit more, but if you want an exact match that would be the way to go

Id rather go with OEM, so thank you for letting me know. I will check with the dealership.
Thank you.

I used some paints from Metakolors for my car. Used by OEM manufacturers. You may want to check it out. They have chrome spray, Teflon base coat for surface with adhesion problem in all colors, color shifting, metal paints, etc. I used chrome and candy color for my rims.

I found a source for Volvo OEM wheel paint! Silverstone 938 paint is available in 150ml spray cans
