Default Need right paint code for 2010 GS competition grey wheels

I'm hoping someone has the right answer to my question. I've done numerous searches and have found varying opinions as to what the appropriate color code for the comp grey wheels. The one that seems to pop up the most is GM396 (aka WA9243 - Gunmetal Grey). Is this the generally accepted code for the 2010 model year? Some people seem to think the colors for the comp grey wheels have changed over the years.
Anyone have a good answer? Thanks for your help!

It has changed. Here are the three choices for 2010.

Warm Nickel Metallic (Wheel Color) WA837K

Ultra Silver (Wheel Color) WA8867-W

Sparkle Silver Metallic (Wheel Color) WA9967

That's all the help I can give.

Assuming it matched?

Sounds like the GM396 (aka WA9243 - Gunmetal Grey) is the main one that is recommended, but it's interesting how no one seems to know as a matter of fact. Surprised that there isn't some GM reference source for this kind of information. Oh well, that's the government!
