White touch-up for wheels?

Ouch! Scraped a very thin line of paint on the rim of my right rear wheel while parking. Is there anything that can be used to do a touch up? I don't believe MINI sells a white for the wheels. Any help would be appreciated.

Aspen white. The white as on the roof of white roofed MINI's.

You should be able to get it in a touch up pen from your dealer.

If the white on the wheels is different, then it's close enough to the roof colour for me. I've used Aspen white several times on white wheels.

I work in parts at a BMW/MINI dealer and I've yet to see a silver or white pen for wheels... Are you sure on that one goonery?

Absolutely positively affirmative, got the silver from Cotswold Cheltenham parts dept, they had to order it, took two days. Will post the part number when I can find it.

Yeah, but what about white? If you have a parts # ( I assume US and UK have same part numbers for paint) for white, please post it. Thanks.
