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...

And as the first person to respond I feel I should tell you to learn how to search. You can find an answer to any question by using the search function.

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.
