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.)
Quote:
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.
