Viggen Wheel Paint..

Over the last year, sadly...
I have ground the outer rims of 3 of my 4 wheels on my 2001 Viggen against curbs and such...the passenger side looks downright ugly..
But it's mostly paint damage, and I'd like to touch these up myself rather than pay for expensive refinishing (I'd only hurt em again).
I'm wondering what paint is best to use for this, color-wise?
I have a can of the Duplicolor WP101 Silver wheel paint...but I read online that the Wurth Metallic Silver is an exact match. Is this true?
I also read a post here that said the following:
"I took one of my rims (which was curb rashed badly by a valet) to a wheel refinishing place, and was told that the paint color that Saab uses on the wheels is not available in this country because it contains toxic compounds that are illegal to use in the US, though legal to use in Europe. The closest match they could get is the color that BMW M Roadster wheels are...which is NOT the same color as the Viggen rims. Viggen rims are brighter"
Can anyone recommend the best wheel paint to use for touch up?
It doesn't have to be perfect...just so it's not noticeable unless under close inspection. Hell, anything would be better than the way they look now.
