Can't decide on matte black or gloss wheels
I just can't decide on whether to buy matte black finish or gloss black finish wheels. I wanted vmr v710's but they don't come in a gloss finish.
My car is Jet Black. I just keep thinking gloss black will look better but vmr doesn't offer glossh black. Will matte look good? if you guys have some pics could you share please. Thanks |

i have the matte black vmrs and the finish dulls a lot with time. i would go with some sort of semi gloss if you can find it so it stays a little darker looking but doesnt look super shiny. half the time my wheel look brown with all the cooked on pad material from the track.

I have had both matte and gloss black wheels, and recently I was trying to decide between Gloss and Satin, but went with Gloss as the finish is easier to clean and brake dust doesnt stick to it as much. |

Gloss black to match your paint and trim.
I have VMR VB3s in gloss black on my AW coupe. You can get a custom paint from EAS. If they are still using the same powdercoater, be prepared to wait forever for them. |

Yep and that's how I like it , not matte , not glossy , just perfect to my taste cause I hate to wash rims ! The thing with the satin finish is that you don't see the brake dust as much as on a glossy black !

I bought Matte Black P40s about 3 years ago, I just had them refinished because they were looking very dull. I did them in a semi-gloss, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. |
