Starting with a white or dark first coat on the wheels can help lighten or darken the final top coat to better match the plastic caps as long as you don't make the top coat too thick and apply it fairly evenly. Beyond that it would either be living with a mismatched or totally plain cover (both yecch), pinstripe masking of the black decal (PITA, destined to fail) or having custom new decals made up ($$). I'd spend extra time trying to custom match the existing wheel paint. I expect a good auto paint supply shop should be able to color match it without a paint code.
