Question Matt Black vs. Gloss Black for twin spoke AMG wheels???

Hey guys! I just bought a set of the 5 twin spoke AMG wheels that were an option on the W204. I have to get them refinished so I was thinking about powder coating them black. I'd love to hear some opinions from people who have gone this route. Any pictures to back up the opinions would be greatly appreciated too. Thanks!!

That looks great. Makes me debate just powder coating them the factory silver again and plastidiping them so that I can revert to silver when I sell the car.

What color is the car?

I like gloss black over matte.

Great question. My car is black. I am leaning towards a gloss black plastidip at this point.

You have to remember
Plastidip is matte black and there is no such thing as Gloss Plastidip.
In order to achieve a gloss look on plastidip, a "glossifier" is added.
Even then, it looks more like a satin black rather than a gloss black.
I can Photoshop your car on your current OEM wheels to make them gloss black if you want.

I would go Gloss Black PowderCoat
