IMO i would have left them alone. something doesn't look right to me, maybe get new centercaps to show some contrast. You did a very nice job painting the wheels though....

One of my friends mentioned to throw a clear coat on top of that, but I don't know. Should I?

I was thinking of that, so I did a search (here) and saw some pics of black rims with the center not painted... I don't think it looked that good.
