Didn't paint them.
I was on a rampage at getting some stuff powdercoated this past spring.
Got a *bunch* of underhood parts done and 1 set of Magnum GT wheels done (unfortuantely the clear kept cracking on 1 particular wheel).
Meant to get these Road Wheels done - but my time ran out.
Between the Roads, the Mag GTs, and a set of aluminum 79 300 rims (2 of which came from you) - all of them need some sort of TLC before I can use them.
And I keep looking at the 14" whitewalls currently on the car - although old, they have no cracks and < 2000 miles on them. I'll use them until a set of wheels gets done eventually (tires will probably be $200 each by then).
That was a long way around of why I can't tell you what silver I used.
But I saw some references in a thread on here that somebody (or several people?) have used these:

In my head these road wheels are a little lighter than the other rallyes, anyone else see that to be true?

They also offer a 2k product: Eastwood 2K AeroSpray Rally Wheel Silver Paint
I am not sure about the color though. Mine are all chrome.
"Aluma blast" color may be a little lighter: Eastwood 2K AeroSpray Aluma Blast

I agree with the heat. I put mine in the empty deck box i use for my patio chair cushions and closed the lid and let it sit in the sun for a week it worked really well. As a side note for identification purposes the wheels i have in the pictures are coded as follows:
# 369947
MFG Date 3-19-78
Size 15 x 6
JJ T G
This info my help others identify wheels.

This is the paint I used on my road wheels when I restored them.
MOPAR Textured Light Argent Silver
TEXTURED LIGHT ARGENT SILVER! In the correct color and Finish, both developed to mimic the original for use on grilles, tail light bezels and panel and shaker bubbles. We use PPG materials and formulas developed over the past 2 decades. This is not paint you can find at the Auto Parts Store...

Now that looks like the best paint option. I'm going to order some for my tail light and grill accents.

It ain't cheap, but nothing worth it ever is. He has a bunch of different Mopar-specific paints...dark argent, real deal organisol, tail light red.
If you have one splined top cap or a complete center including the cap for sale I could be interested when you are ready. One of mine has a sort of Macgyvered top cap from a previous owner. Thanks

Here is another rustoleum option with the other benefit of being heat resistant. Has been on my own road wheels since 2017 with no flaking or peeling.

Yeah, but I've been contemplating wheels/tires/disc brakes for this car for at least 8 years while life gets in the way.
Sadly, it spends too much time just sitting waiting on me.

Believe me, I know! I ran the 15x7 cops on my '78 NYBS for a couple of years, while I tracked down a total of nine aluminum baskets, six reflective trim rings, and two centers. I had the four correct wheels I got with the car; but had three baskets with the mounting holes stripped and three roached trim rings. That effort was definitely worth it!
