Pictures/Opinion Wanted
I gave a buddy of mine some wheels that I had from my former car. We struck the deal that instead of cash I could get my wheels powdercoated. They are teh stock AMG wheels.
I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the stock wheels powdercoated. I'm pretty set on black, but I do not know if I want to go with flat, satin, or gloss, or gloss with metallic. I think I'm going to end up going with satin. The only two cars I've seen so far are ADVANS when it had the stock ones powdercoated and a blue c32.
What do you guys say? The grill is blacked out right now, I have a CF lip arriving tomorrow, and I have some tint coming for the headlights/tails (not sure if it'll stay on, I don't want it to be a black blob with no shape/accents.

Why not go with gunmetal similar to the color of the SL65 rims. I wanted to go with flat paint on my rims, but I heard that flat paint has a very limited life. I plan on redoing my rims in satin but using brilliant silver, I may use a black base for depth.
Here's a pic of the SL65 rims

I did consider that as well. But I would want to do a gun metal chrome if I did. I also was thinking of a dark bronze/gold but I think it would look silly with the chrome on the car.

Edit: I suggest replace your side marker too while u waiting on the lip and stuff.
