15X6 with chrome? W23 16-slot road wheels? Silver between the chrome and the center of the wheel would be similar to Chevy Rally Wheel Silver, I believe, which mightr be available in repro as a spray can via Duplicolor or similar. Maybe even some Krylon wheel paint?
Or you might go down to the local paint supply and look in their chip charts for a bright silver you like. Might even have the correct wheel color mentioned in the chip chart list? Then get them to make up a quart (minimum quantity, usually) of single-stage acrylic enamel, and get a PreVal sprayer unit to spray it with and some thinner/reducer.
For the "black", hidden by a trim ring, any satiny-black paint might work.
Of course, clean and basic prep, especially on the silver parts. Using some painters tape to tape off the chrome area, letting the silver blend into the chrome area by leaving a lip of tape hanging over the recess under where the chrome is. No hard paint line on the silver, but a fading of sorts, which is how my '70 W23s are.
Good luck with your project! Others might have their own suggestions.
Just some thoughts,

As ALWAYS, I TREASURE YOUR thoughts! I've seen the name of Duplicolor last night and this morning and will put the brand in my Top 3 list for brands for this job.
Yes, they're W23 16 slot rims, identical to those advertised here:
For Sale - 15x6 Road Wheels W23 set of 4
I got 5 for $200, which, Given This and That Theez Daze, made the Babushka happy with her investment. Since the 14" P215 75 white walled Hankooks that came with Gertrude still have plenty tread, we're not too badly compelled to use the W23s until they're Done Right! I'll take a few pix later this week, after this winter piss storm moves out.
I know the boys at a local, PRIVATELY OWNED INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE STORE (Cost Less Auto) who can help do me good on getting paint once I decide what to get, OR, I might hunt something down on the Net, once I know what to get.
I was thinking white between the chrome and bead for the outside, with white on the inside and enclosed part, but using silver to effect the transition from chrome on the outside does seem more practical, especially given that some imperfections in the old chrome plate exist.
Oh YES! I WILL tape off and mask the chrome plating thoroughly from preparation until finish, renewing the masking too as needed. If I knew of a reliable shop, I might even consider renewing the chrome, but I suspect no such shop exists in Pima County anymore.
Your felicitous wishes are much appreciated, and may your own projects be blessed too.
