My vote is for gloss black, especially with a gloss black car. I'm thinking of doing the same to my stock wheels as a winter setup.

Gloss black. Get dustless pads for the brake dust.

What PC color would you guys suggest against a carbonschwarz body?

Matte as well? .. I'm in the same boat as Poeser

I would do the matte only because in a day or 2 the gloss looks matte anyway, but in a perfect world I'd probably do gloss black. I'm skeptical on the dustless pads I hear a lot of mixed reviews.
