I am thinking about powder coating my wheels and wondering what color ya'll think I should go with. I'm having a hard time deciding. Any chance I could get a photoshop of flat and gloss black?

Dark Silver/ Gunmetal would look better than Black I think on your color.

I did my track wheels in satin black (somewhere between flat and gloss). Make sure you also paint the inner barrel as well. GL

Never seen the insides of the spokes painted black. It will have the effect of making the wheels look larger by visually lengthening the spokes?
