That's the only thing that's keeping me positive mate! Missus is pretty pissed off with me though! 
Mines the same

If you haven't used it much since fitting the battery, then it could well be flat already, happened to the missus car last winter. should be ok with a full charge and a run, got a trickle charger?? could be worth leaving that on overnight.
As for the wheels I think a gloss black wheel would look lovely next the body
