That's because 'battleship grey' is not an absolute color genius. Everyone has their own interpretation. Unless you know the OE manufacturer paint code for it.

which is exactly why i was specifically asking OP for a picture of it so i could see the actual color vinyl he was referring to instead of guessing which of the million shades he might be referring to since none of them are named "battleship grey", but you've been real helpful buddy.
OP, i'm not necessarily a fan of gloss wraps. from what i've seen, they don't have the same depth as real paint so it'll never quite look as good as a real paint job..and if you were to go with "matte dark grey", make sure you order different samples from all the major brands and compare them in both indoor and outdoor lighting.
Just thinking of the colors in my head, matte dark gray I think would be better. Gives you more options IMO for wheel colors and better matching of dark colors, depending on your interior color.
