Unless you paint them silver there isn't a color that's going to match. Hell, silver won't even match. You need to do this...

i did a search and i saw that too but it didnt answer my question.. they polished the wheels so they came out shinny as hell.. i just want to have my wheels look oem.. i also wanted to have the center caps painted to match the wheels because i dont want them to say acura on them..

You cannot make them look OEM if the original surface of the wheel has been damaged (the actual metal). The wheels were just a plain machine finish, with clearcoat. It might be possible to add metal where needed and remachine them, but that's doubtful since the original wheels are cast, and not to mention it would be a HUGE waste of money.
Best advice is to paint them some color of your choice, or just buy some different wheels.
