Tire blow out, but wait there's more! Opinions needed/wanted

So it's Friday morning and i'm driving to work thinking about what time my new iPhone would arrive, and how i was going to leave work at 4:00PM to get my car aligned since dropping it. I'm literally right in front of my work getting into the turning lane when i hear a loud POP! At first i thought please don't tell me that was my engine... Then the flood of warning lights and TPMS messages saying low tire pressure. Parked the car and jumped out and was greeted with this:





The part that sucks is the fact that it knicked my wheel and because i'm OCD now i need/want to have all 4 wheels re-powder coated. Then when i got it towed to my friends shop to put my stockies on we find this in the rear tire... FML



Talked to my local whee/tire guy and he said the rear tire should be easily repaired, so it looks like i'll be needing to buy 1 new tire (front blow out) i'm debating currently if i want to powder coat the wheels satin black or gloss black this time around? What do you guys think?

Not really a fan of satin black. Do glossy

I prefer satin black on a black car, gloss just does not look right to me on a already gloss black car.
Plus satin black gives it a more of an axe murder look.

I couldn't decide what color/finish i wanted to go with but i finally narrowed it down and got them back and mounted with two fresh Michelin PSS tires!

Tires look great. Wheels look great. Car looks great but what's that orange reflective thing on the front bumper? . Just kidding. It's just that it sticks out too much. Maybe paint them satin black? Just saying.
