Default paint on wheels with dog dish caps

I thought I should make this question a generic one, as I think it applies to most restored cars with wheels having dog dish caps.

Seeing as most cars are restored with base coat/clear coat paint, I was wondering what most people did when painting their rims/wheels. It seems that the clear coat used on the car would give a rather un-authentic shine to the rims/wheels, and that maybe a more semi-gloss clear should be shot on the rims/wheels. However, maybe I'm wrong and the clear used on the car will be fine on the rims/wheels as well.

Any suggestions/recommendations are welcome.

Oh, by the way the car in question is a white '68 Olds 442, although I'll also be doing the same on my LeMans Blue '69 Camaro.

Thanks,
Tom
