J3nut,
Just use either Aluminum Silver (spray cans) or Argent Silver (spray cans or by the gallon, etc.).
If you go to a paint supplier, asking for either of these colors should get you what you need.
Now, for my opinion. The Argent Silver looks more like the original galvanizing, but is a lot less expensive than having the rims re-galvanized. When you repaint, regardless of color, remove the tires and do the rim inside and out. You may discover that you need one or more new rims due to rust and corrosion from Calcium Chloride leaks. One of my tractors had a rim with a small looking rust out around a valve stem. When the tire was removed, it turned out to be about the size of a softball! The rim on the other side looked like new. You just can't tell from the outside.

My 2¢,
Phil
