You can paint them any colour you like.
I prefer a light silver with large flakes of aluminium in it

I'd say if the car is silver always do them a different colour to the car because it looks a bit odd if the car and wheels are an identical shade of silver.

From what I remember, Wurth silver wheel paint is an identical match to a couple of the German marques.

I generally use Rover silver, it's quite light.
