Hi Joe, it was also my dilema, how find right color.
I was lucky because my dealer gave me (he really gave them to me free of charge!) NEW all four center caps originaly packed. As I have friend who has dealership for Audi and VW and has very good experiencies with repairing and painting alloy wheels I let him work on them. As a color reference they used the new center cap. It looks like really really good, wheels are balanced and looks like brand new! My SVX is in Burgundy color (personaly I do not like this color very much) but with new painted wheels it looks like much more attractive.
We have a lot of rain here so when sun will appear I will take some pictures and post them here.
I was charged aprox. 50USD per wheel (complete rapair and repaint)
As for tires I have them one day so have not time to test them yet. First feeling is very good.

Very good Peter. I do not have new caps for reference.
Could you post a picture of the newly painte wheels?
Also, maybe you could ask your Audi paint guy what paint mix he used, if there is a code?
Joe
