Satin or Glossy Black Wheels?

Hey out there, I need some help. I have an artic silver 997 TT Cab. Planning on getting Champion MS171 wheels and having them colored black. I am having a hard time deciding between satin and glossy black. Does anyone out there have the same vehicle with the same or similar wheels. If so, could you please send me some pictures to see how they look.

I have the RS171's in gloss black and I like them pretty well. I also have the HRE P43's in satin powdercoat and like the finish a bit better. I would tell you to powdercoat them satin black but it is complicated because Champion suggests you do NOT powdercoat their wheels. So, I guess my vote is satin black paint.

Thumbs up Satin or Glossy?

I continue to hear that satin is the way to go. The color of the wheels, the car, that machine is beautiful. Thanks!

Have you seen the satin charcoal? IMO, it looks better with silver.

Satin FTW...

Check HRE's latest ad in Excellence. Satin doesn't always "pop" in pictures but in person it's something else:

Satin/Matte only. Gloss black is passé.

Hi!

Thanks for the pictures. Are these wheels satin charcoal or satin black. Either way they look great. Gives the car a tasteful aggressive look.

They are Satin Charcoal. Poor lighting. Here is a picture of the same wheel in 20's on a 997TT -
