I've never used the glossifier with Plasti-Dip - just how glossy does it make the stuff? In "stock" form PD is very flat with almost zero gloss, but these wheels are more of a satin black than a true flat black. Unless the glossifier somehow makes PD as glossy as the paint on your car, which I kind of doubt, I think you'll be fine as far as matching goes.

My 2¢
They could be worse. A lot worse. Of course, I have ceramic brake pads so I'm not spewing dust all over mine, and mine is a weekend toy in SoCal so I'm not driving them on dirty/rainy roads. I find a little quick detail spray after a drive is all I need, and I use a synthetic spray wax on them regularly, too.

Interesting. If that's the case then I would think with the right number of coats you could pretty closely match the satin finish of the Donington wheels.

Uh, yeah. Those look like they would be a pain.
