Question BMW E60 Rim Color

Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I've loved these types of forums since I got my 528xi as you guys are an amazing source of knowledge.
I am in a bit of a pickle, I have a black E60, with Style #278 Rims. They are a bit curb rashed from the previous owner, and I want to fix them myself.
Would these rims look good in a glossy black? Or is there a way I can touch them up with metal reinforced bondo and OEM paint (assuming I can find an
OEM paint code).
I appreciate any help !

Why not first check prices at your local rim repair shop. If not, then there's tons of YouTube videos out there but it's quite the learning curve.

I live in a big city and everything seems to be priced extremely high, plus this car has been an amazing learning experience and I wanna continue that journey.

For anyone in the future:
BMW Reflex Silver or Reflexsilber (Code A44) was a perfect match. I got mine from AutomotiveTouchup.
