CarreraS II Black Wheels....Glossy or Matte?
I'm thinking of painting my wheels. They are the CarreraS II on the 09. I would like to get some opinions on which one would look better. Glossy or Matte? Thank you in advance for everyone's opinion.

black/white/black?

I too would go with a satin finish. For me gloss is just too much shine (unless a bit dirty) and matte might look less than clean even when fully clean.

Thanks. Do you think Satin would be a better choice than Matte on a white car?

Satin.... I agree, its almost like a non-stick finish on a frying pan...

But for that, I'm thinking "Powder Coat", not traditional spray, right?
