Go with a Gloss Black or Matte Black Rims? Arctic Silver car

Here is my car. I am looking at having the wheels powder coated.


Should I go matte or glass black wheel??


Or possibly a gloss lip and a matte center wheel? (or the opposite)

very hard to keep a matte/flat black wheel looking good, always seem to be 'chaulky'...gloss or nothing...or try anodizing..

Got it at Sweetcars, huh? They are a great group of guys.....

Have you considered PVD? It's a newer finish that looks like black chrome once applied. It's stronger than chrome and has the durability of paint. Here is a link to one we have (won't fit your car but you get the idea). I'm not sure who does the finish 3rd party.

You can try it in plastidip with their base spray and metalizer I think to see what it would look like.
