ok, so i have a scratch on the lip of my rims. They are the stock rims on a 2005 touring. You can see it in the pictures below. The scratch isn't big, but i think if i paint it, it would look a little better than leaving the scratch the way it is. My question is what type of paint is used on these rims? As in does anyone know the paint code by any chance? Or is there a better way to remove this scratch? Thanks in advance, Zack.P.S. Sorry about the night pics and they are all pics of the same scratch.

If you want to repair it to look like new I would take it to a wheel repair shop. Or you could probably go to Nissan and figure out the paint code and get one of those touch up paint pens/brushes.

Or you could ignore it and save some money for some rims and put snow tires on your stockers. Then use the stockers as beater winter rims.

My rims are messed up, so I'm going to get some OEM from someone that has put new rims on their Z and don't want them anymore.
