I think it's a little lighter. Try the Sherwin Williams site and scroll down to Mazda and specifically the wheels. The listing is for trucks, but Lightning Silver Metallic may be it.

edit: the colors on the chart don't come out quite right if you look at some you recognize. Derwankel had originally suggested the color & he generally knows his stuff.

Thats one of the reasons I love the Sunlight Silver on my 8. The rims match the color of the car so well.

Yes, you may want to take some high grit sandpaper and sand down the curb mark then then put the touch up on it.

so do what I did if they are scratched up(badly). have em sandblasted and repainted, then you have the option to change the color or select a different tint.
pic shows a typical sandblasting in progress.

So is the consensus that if I go to the dealer and get sunlight silver touch up paint it should match the wheels pretty closely?

its close enough so that people would have to really look to see it...unless you painting a really large section...that might be more obvious.
