What's the closest color code for the premium wheels?

Dont have any chips yet but was just curious for future reference

Just eyeballing it the top candidates might be .....

KH2 Charcoal pearl R32 GTR (this was also the color of the NISMO trim pieces on the 350z Juke Sentra ect)

K11 Smoke Metallic (I think this one is too light)

KAE "Dark Grey" (this is the color of the lower trim pieces of certain year R35 GTRs )

Another idea is to try Testors Gray Graphite Metallic. we had some success with it over on NAGTROC over the years on the GTR wheels which seem to be super close to the color of the Performance Z wheels. worth a shot if ever needed

You may want to consider RimSavers to protect the rims on the wheel.
They cost about $75 and will save $$ needed to repair and redo the wheel. I have spent about $150 per wheel in the past.

Yeah I've had to have a wheel repaired before by a similar type company and they usually just do a custom match for big areas or even a full respray. I'm just trying to find the closest color for like occasionally little rock chips or something of that nature

I had a very small chip on the rim and used a black Sharpee

Have you looked any further into this? Im in the process of ordering new wheels and love the factory color. I called Rays USA and they said call Nissan. Nissan said they don't know either. I am waiting on a call back from them though.

Anyone come up with a close match for the performance rims. I just nicked my front rim on a curb. I'm thinking a graphite gray color.

Hello! I got a 2024 Z perfomance. My local dealer called Nissan with my vin and were able to get the code 'LG45' for the wheels.

There's very little I've found on it online, mainly UK companies that won't ship to the US. This is the best I could find for it; I'll try it out and update.

In the industry we call this an "Anodizing Pen"!

I have already had to resort to it after the second day of ownership. It's a long way from my Kink Cab to the Z.

Whoops lol completely forgot about this. I did get it and apply, ill upload a picture when I get home for sure.
Definitely not exact, the touch up color is slightly lighter than the original, if you can I would try and see if a local shop can mix you the color first, not a bad option if nothing else though.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it, if you were to look at the wheels without knowing one was scratched you'd probably never notice it.

EDIT: added pic, the flash definitely makes it a little more apparent than usual.
