I would do gloss. I would also get the vff-103's over the 101's if I wanted the split-Y design. But again, that comes down to personal taste which is something only you can tell yourself.
At the end of the day, if you're near a powdercoater, you could get them redone for $75-$100/wheel if you aren't happy with the outcome.
I would personally go with a different color. Something unique.
There are several different bronzes out there now.
Are you having them painted or are those the available options from Vornsteiner?
If that's the case, I'd go with gloss. Matte black looks like a DIY job these days.

I think gloss to match the grill, window trim etc. If you blacked out everything matte black on the windows and grill, then the matte wheels would look good.

If you listen to them and want to spice it up, I just want to say (I don't remember the user, but it was in AMG picture thread) someone had nice rims that were bright red on their 63. It really blended nicely.
I have satin black powdercoat from Forgestar -crap finish quality and no doubt the Vorsteiner will be much better. I found satin difficult to keep looking clean and I am now in the process of refinishing my wheels in gloss black with a 2 pack clear coat.
There are some great greys and bronzes out there - I am doing black because I this is my first serious attempt at a major spay paint job (compressor and gun) and i want to keep it simple.

That was Roswell if you want to search
GRP beat me to it lol
I've got Vorsteiners in matte bronze and the finish is durable as hell. Brake dust seems to come right off and I run pads that are pretty brutal dust-wise

In my opinion, a satin finish would me more suitable for your vehicle. In addition, it would be awesome if you went with a different colour. Something spontaneous like pink would totally make your car look spankin'!
Satin hides brake dust better... especially since the front will dust up quickly... I don't like seeing dirty front rims... gloss looks glossy only when spotless.

I agree, satin will help to hide the dust a bit more. Even when they get dirty, they will look grey before looking dirty.
