Dupicolor wheel paint is popular.
Matte is usually more greyish than satin.
Start with light coats to slowly go towards the original finish without going past it.

Hmm so my best option now is use a gloss black spray and dip the 2 wheels basically

What kind of shop did you get these done at? That's complete garbage. A plain satin black is the easiest colour to match and it looks like they used a "flatter" paint.

Don't do anything to "fix it" you'll just make it worse.
