Robert, I used to refinish wheels for a living and have done these wheels before. Matching the paint is the key to a successful job. A lot of silver out there and maybe you can find Worth with the right tint. From the picture, they look painted and then clearcoated.
Before you paint, spray a paint out card and hold it next to the wheel in sunlight to see if the tint matches. Don't forget to sand area up to at least 600 grit before painting.
I usually put on 2 base coats and 2 to 3 clears.
If you can see a line or ridge, remember it will be amplified when painted and cleared.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Don
