Would gloss or matte black rims look better on yellow camaro? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have your basic 2011 2LT rally yellow camaro with black racing sripes. I will be getting replica 20 inch rims soon but can not decide whether to get matte black or gloss black rims. I want them to be as similar as possible to the same black color scheme as the stripes as well as the tires. Any pictures?
Thanks, Mason.

Gloss Black looks much better

test the matte black with plastidip if you like it then go that route if you dont then peel it off and get gloss

Well...what are the stripes? Gloss or Matte black? Go with whatever the stripes are if you want them to be as similar as possible.

does anyone know what the color of black the stock racing stripes are?

OP, if the stripes were from the factory, then they are matte. I would go with matte black rims to match but hey, it is up to you. Like poster above suggested, you could always plastidip them first if you want to try before you have them powder coated or whatever.

Good luck.

I'd go gloss. But if you wanna match the stripes consider satin over matte.

Matte black matches the stripes and won't show brake dust as bad.
