I'm not sure if they are the same, but I painted my BBSs Zermatt Silver 
to match the car, and they look very good indeed.    Even my wife 
commented on how nice they looked.

Any decent paint shop should be abel to buy a pint of the paint, and 
spray your wheels.

It will be a decent match, but you can't be guaranteed that it won't be 
noticeable.    Pain fades in the sun, so a donor car may have faded more 
or less than yours.   Also, the original batches of paint may be slightly 
different.
