Z4 M styling 224 wheels paint code

I did a little research and some wheels were painted in REFLEX SILVER paint.
The other day new info:

according to those posts, the correct paint is called TITANIUM SILVER.
Where is the truth? What is a proper pain code for 224 wheels?
 
I always thought they were titan silver... probably easier to get painted in that finish as well. Never heard of reflex.

Edit. I've taken a quick look and it seems like reflex is a VW colour? Possibly is the same/similar to BMW titan?
 
In original finish, the wheels have a kind of metal effect to to them-a bit like a hyper silver/black. It's definitely not a straight 'wheel silver'.

I have a feeling, though I'm not totally sure, that the paint code is A55 and is called decorsilver. Fwiw, if I was having them refinished I'd look at going with a hyper silver as it will probably be very close and give you that richer, deeper look.

As a bonus bit if geekery -The wheels also slightly changed over the lifespan of the car (very subtle change to the outer edge) and different suppliers produced them. As far as I can tell, the later wheels were also slightly darker in their finish but as I'm basing this on only one brand new wheel it may simply have been down to the variation between batches rather than a change of colour ('hyper' finishes are notorious for this)
