If you find out please do let us UK lot know what it is; over a year since release and many wheel refurbs later and were still none the wiser from Ford.
If it helps, Volvo 932 is as close as anyone's found to Rado grey yet. They'd have to be side by side for you to even detect a hint of difference between them and the proper Ford colour.

Nice, thank you.
Likewise, if we become aware of it before you I'll post it up here and let you know.

Status update: My Ford dealer checked with his parts department and said they do not break down the color codes on wheels for their vehicles.
In other words, Ford apparently does not specify a paint code for the wheels in the resource book or the other purchasing/ordering guides. The option code is 64k but he did not believe that related to a paint code. He will follow up with his body shop tomorrow.

Hey thanks for checking with your dealer about this. Much appreciate it.
Well, unfortunately my Local Ford dealer seems to have hit a dead end, much like our UK brethren have with their Ford dealers. Here was the response I received today:
"So I just got done talking with our body shop and they don't have an actual paint code for the colored wheels, just like parts. They are forced to go through some outside company and color match the paint.
They thought there might be a paint code on those specific wheels but there isn't.
I'm not sure sure how you would go about getting an exact paint code for those wheel now."
In my area we have a pretty good wheel shop so I suppose the best option would be to just take the stock rim down there and have them try to do a color match.
