I wouldn't trust any color except the factory coded color. Buy the wheels you like and have them painted the correct color. Anything else will not match 100%. Depends on the person, but close will not work for me.
FYI: I bought some colormatched handles for my crewcab a few years ago and one handle was a little off. I thought it would be ok and installed it. That handle caught my eye everytime!! I had them send me another one. Once they received the handle back, they agreed it was a "little" off. They could have lived with it, not me.

Yeah I am definately like that myself to. Just wasnt sure and these rims arent so cheap either. Just the only white color they offer. They wont paint them to my color code on car.

That guarantee's they won't match. Post pictures if and when you get something. I have an AW also and am always looking for different wheel choices.

"Little off" door handles are like night and day to "little off" wheels. You can be off shades on wheels and it won't matter. As they are surrounded by Black tires that will lose any slight color diff. Look at all the silver Vettes with silver wheels or C/G Vettes with competition grey wheels, nobody complains about those wheels not matching.

Very few wheels match if you really think about it. Even gloss Black ones don't. I think OP will find that they don't need to be an exact match. It will go unnoticed.
