Dipped them last night, they were horribly painted gloss and had tons of imperfections.

I may change colors again in a few months to bronze or copper, what do you guys think?

The matte is a huge improvement over the gloss black! Hard to tell from the pictures but is the color black or more of a gunmetal/dark grey? The close up shot looks more grey but they look more black in the first and third shots. Either way, looks great!

Yeah it tends to change color in light. When I mostly see gloss black wheels, I think of those ugly cheap wheels people put on Chrystler 300's with horrible designs. I'm more a fan of satin matte colors, I have miro 111's on my 5 which I like the look of. This was a cheaper route to fix the uglyness than going with new rims right now which I will get down the line.
