Opinions on wheel color..

Hey guys. Got my spacers and lowering springs ready to go on, just need to schedule the appt to have my wheels refinished (when ordering the car, I wanted all black but there was no option so I went with this style as it was my favorite of the 19” factory options). Would you go gloss black or matte black?

Personally I feel that gloss works better on our cars.

Agreed, gloss for sure , matte will make the car look vagrant. IMO.

I'm sure the grey paint makes a difference but I just put these matte black/bronze rims on and I'm quite happy with them. They look different depending on how the light hits them.

Those look great! Are those 19’s? I ended up going gloss....

Thanks, yes 19 inch. I moved up from stock 18s. I'm happy with them. I think gloss goes off well. Looks good with the window trim.
