Black Wheels gloss or semi gloss

Want repaint the GT3 wheels, currently they are semi-gloss, thinking about gloss, Atlas Grey is car exterior color.

If your P car have gloss blk wheels please post.

Thank you.

I think gloss black would look sharp with a polished lip to give the wheels more depth and character than a plain black wheel.

I'm not a fan of black wheels, period. But gloss black with some sort of accent color wold be acceptable. Did I mention I'm not a fan of black wheels?

Nice car! I'd go with the gloss black. Will look sharp and clean easier. The AmorAll wheel spray works well to repel brake dust.

Your car looks great already - hope you get some good examples to compare - black wheels can be hard to photograph well so they look good - took me forever to find a photo of the Sport Classics on a black car that made me feel good about buying them.

I've seen the Fuchs style both ways (Fuchs brand is matte) and they both look good to me, so here's that - maybe not the best example for your comparison though.

Matte looks more agressive / sporty and gloss looks more elegant - in general, but not always. Good luck.

I only have gloss black for about 20 miles...then they convert to flat matte.
I have the best of both worlds... *sigh*

I love the look of the GT3 RS gloss black wheels.

Thank for the compliments.
