worth a shot. Ive painted my wheels so many times I forgot what color they were. Its just paint it can always be redone.

I did this with my steelies. Looks way better IMO. I even did a quick write up on it.

Short of telling you to buy a set of konig daylights instead... (match the look your going for) I would try adding a yellow pinstripe to the wheel. ALSO, find a good top coat/ clear coat to put on top to the black paint to be able to scrub them, not let the finish dull. Out of a spray can is still better than nothing.
