You could probably call the contrasting drum a feature. I think painting the drums bright red was in fashion for a few months a year or two ago, this is a subtle look that might work quite well!

I think the rims look brilliant and you're clearly a dab hand with a spray can, very impressive tweak.

Why more clear coat, if you're after more gloss, is there enough coats on to just polish what's there? Or even wet sand then polish?

I've painted a lot of rims in VHT wheel paint (polyurethane I think it is) and all it takes to get a mirror finish in them is lightly wet sanding with 2000 grit and hand polishing with Auto Glym super resin polish. (Though I haven't tried this with their new formula)

Coincidentally, I took a pic of mine today, with their third set of tyres just fitted since painting them several years ago
