what you guys think ?, i removed my 166 wheels and going to powdercoat them next week. i am thinking to go with gloss black.(my car is sapphire black).any input is welcome.
btw if anyone live in northern illinois or south wisconsin i can forward the contact. they charge $50 per wheel for sandblasting , cleaning and powdercoating.

I went from Gloss to Matte and didn;t care for it too much, looked dirty to me. Does anyone know of a finish that is in b/w matte and gloss, I think that would look perfect.

Satin black. Nice compromise between Matte and Gloss. I am definitely happy with satin.

I'd go with Gloss black. The matte black on the wheels looks like they are dirty.

Gloss Black. I have 3 sets of wheels that are PC'ed. 2 for my X5 are gloss black and my stock, m5 wheels are a gloss, custom graphite color. gloss looks great with a nice, clean, shiny car.
