Maybe hit your 'old' wheels with some compound polish and some wax, might bring them up closer to the glossy clear coat on the resprayed wheel. I think the colour match is actually pretty close, just the clear coat is dulling the metallic making it look different.

I have a Mother's Power Cone on my 18V drill that I use on my wheels which makes getting around all those angles v easy.

Then finish off with Poorboy's Wheel Sealant and the road grime just falls off at the first sign of water.
