the OEM wheels don't actually look that good matte white to be honest. I might go back to black soon.

It needs something . . .

All black is too much

OP I'd try gloss black on the wheels before a high-contrasting satin white. The contrasting finishes will really help tie it together with the glass. (see the maserati granturismo pic below.)

Mostly because they are crappy diy paint jobs or plasti-dip.

A bit of gloss at a 50% or higher in will yeild a much better look. (50% in regards to the flattening agent added to the clearcoats on professional satin automotive finishes... not rattle cans.)

50%+ or Semigloss = sex.

Painting the rear quarter window on a street car is about the dumbest idea I've seen yet.
