Default Touch Up Paint for Stock Rims?

Does anyone know if Audi makes a touch up paint for stock Audi rims?

Have you tried a silver ink marker? It's worth a try for a couple of bucks at Staples. It's not totally perfect but darn near close.

Might you be able to send a link to one at staples.com or amazon?

Wurth Silver or Einzett Silver should be an almost perfect match if you are repainting your stock wheels.

Here's what I used. "Pilot Metallic Marker, Silver, Extra Fine". I also bought a silver sharpie but didn't try it - the Pilot seems more correct since the silver ink/paint actually flows out of it.

The Wurth paint is obviously the better idea but the marker idea is a) cheaper; and b) doesn't involve removing your rims, masking off the tires etc. Very easy to apply and no risk of overspray.
