First the XB's don't have paint.They are plastic.Second nobody has the paint code for the Amber wheels.Sorry.Best you can do is have someone try match it.

Pepi -- like bad sez -- the wheels are powder coated -- I've heard the factory had a bear of a time getting em right (actually, the factory's vendor did) . . . . .

also, the plastic is the same color throughout -- if ya sand it on down 1/8", it's still the same color (which is a blessing, as anyone who's tried getting a tuber tank painted will tell ya) -- if you need the code to try and match some of your body work with a piece your painting, your flyscreen can go under the painter's lil computer thingie (if so equipped) and it can figure out a good match from that

Black is as black as white is as white.
I just mix a black base coat for a 02 bonneville that had 5 tints in it and only one was a black tint. The wheels are going to be a PITA to match. Good luck.
