Opinions on Fixing my New Rims

So my new rims came in, and 3 of the 4 center caps had the chrome flaking off. So I went and bought some "chrome" spray paint. From a distance it actually does somewhat match the rest of the rim, but from up close you can clearly see the difference. I also tried painting one of them a gloss black - now I don't know which one I like more.

Before:

I like the chrome one better, the black one just doesn't match up with the rest of the wheel.
