That may match the stripes a little better if you plan to put them back on after the repaint. Also, keep in mind that you can always change the color of the rim centers. It's just paint so don't think you're limited to what the wheel company offers. The important thing is to get the finish on the metal correct the first time, be it a brushed lip or polished lip. Changing the metal finish would cost a lot compared to simply repainting the rims a different color that matches the stripe or paint better. Regardless, I like where you're going with the car that's for sure.
