i cannot help here, but why not getting those color palette cards, or let a paintshop find out the exact silver.
I used to own the "Boxster" rims...they were my absolute favourite. When I ordered my Boxster, those were shown in a sales brochure, but neither named nor officially announced.
I told the sales person..."it is either those on the Boxster, or I won't buy the car." Yup, details always mattered pretty much to me...lol.
Still the best looking 17" rim, IMO.

Remembering back...they had a few used 911 for sale (same price range) ... BUT IT HAD TO THE BOXSTER. One could regret the choice made, .... I don't, till today.

Agree, I prefer 17” due to rough road condition here, and it’s my favorite OEM wheel with classic, iconic Fuchs windmill look.
