Can someone tell me how to find the stock wheel color number for painting the rims on my 76. I have them sandblased now, just going to base them and whould like to keep the origianl paint color. The rings and caps are in great shape so I can stay with them. Thanks for your help. First days of sun and above 0 weather here, won't be long now:):):) Eric...

Thank you, I thought there may have been an actual color chip code but this will work. Eric...
I hope I'll be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think the silver color for the Rallye wheels is referred to as "Argent Silver."
As already stated, most Corvette suppliers can send you the right stuff.

It is indeed Argent Silver. There were two shades of Argent Silver, one late 69 through early 1971, then the standard one. I have only seen the later shade in aftermarket paints. The two year one was slightly more green tinted.
And yes we do stock that paint.
