Correct Black for SSI wheels

What is the correct black for the painted portion of the SSI wheels?

Somewhere, I thought I saw that it is suppose to be flat black. However, this does not appear to be what I normally see, and doesn’t seem to match the inside of the rim. Although, again I think I saw the inside of the rim and the black area around the spokes were two different blacks.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Eastwood sells a paint that is a great match for the original black.

Yes, that's the one.
  • I covered the spokes and chrome with two layers of duct tape, let sandblasted the old paint off.
  • Cleaned blasted surfaces with laquer thinner.
  • 2 light coats of etch primer
  • 2 coats of Eastwood Satin Black

Came out perfect.
