Even though I voted matte black, IMHO, you can't go wrong with either matte or semi-gloss. The reason why I am personally against gloss is because almost every vehicle I've seen with black wheels are gloss and they don't look special at all. They may even look so cheap as a lot of the cheap wheels I've seen installed on lousy rice cars are all gloss. But, again, that is just my opinion.

oh that is nice,

jr1966 has a point there. I think if you want the rough mean raw look then go the matte. If you want the cleaner look that is general magazine/catalog look then go the gloss

That doesn't make any sense.

Either one will look fine - personal preference here for sure on a grey car.

From owning each other these, the matte are a pain to clean ( even after using wheel cleaner), the semi-gloss is perfect but if you are looking for the wet look, you know what you need to do.
