Just use a lighter coloured wheel paint, or have it custom mixed. Don't use a car colour because it will look too flat. You will notice that wheel paint is highly pearlescent between almost black and bright silver...

Yepp, they are the same sort of thing as you get on most alloys. Not sure what the range of colour is. It would be cheaper to go to a paint shop and get them to mix something for you. They can do it in aerosoles too if you need.

Yepp, so long as you get the right one.. Wheel paint is a lot more pearly than car paint.
