[W126 Coupe] Silver Paint Code for 9 hole & 15 hole OEM MercedesRim???

[Sharan Bains]

I think MB call it Sterling silver.

9-hole wheels ? That would be the Brabus Monoblock III wheel.

MB wheel was 8-hole, although the Brabus wheel is pure class.

Not sure of a colour code, but I had centre caps painted by my bodyshop on a 
set of Brabus wheels and despite me giving no colour match or the wheel 
itself.
