Nice D.I.Y! As for the matching of paint colour I am sure you would be able to track down the paint code of your wheel weather it be stock or after market. Its probably best to try track all your car colour codes now on your wheels and overall pains on the car for future reference if needed. Especially with the newer models as it is easier to find.
Paints and colours are designed to have there specific code so if you were to buy one brand of paint as to another brand with the same colour code they should be perfect colour matches. These codes are suppose to be followed globally to an extent anyway.
Differences in paint brands are the quality they may look slightly different due to quality and fading ect.
