Sorry to go OT, but what wing is that?

Matte for me, gloss makes the tyres look almost brown and is just too reflective IMO!

My wheels are gloss and I wish I went matte. I now let leave the brake dust to create the matte look.

My vote would be matte.

Matte looks great on a black car. Otherwise gloss has my vote.
