The camera sees what it sees, and your best bet is to find lighting that your eyes and the camera both agree on.
I wouldn't be surprised that if you were to place the wheel and the sample in 5000K ISO 3664:2009 compliant lighting that you would be seeing the same color variant that the camera is picking up. Using the industry standard light spectrum means your color adjustments become direct comparisons.
Matching color is difficult, and unfortunately subjective. Your best bet is to always lock down as many variables as you can so you compare apples to apples.

Oh, if I were to Photoshop these pics, I would let the customer know with both raw and then PS'd. "How they look in pics and how they look actually."
I've never had a client unhappy with my results.
That is actually the raison d'être of Tru6. And I actually spend my own time making something perfect vs. billing the customer. It's only right.
And on these, I couldn't have a disappointed customer because the color matches in real life. The kids say IRL i've heard.
But yes, matching color is difficult!
