matte or gloss black?
So i plasti dipped my wheels but im very blah about them. So i was wondering, should i do gloss or matte black rims? I also posted this in the cosmetic section because if i do gloss black, i will do a gloss black vinyl roof. if i do matte black rims, i will do a matte black roof. Any suggestions?

I'd do semi gloss. The only thing I don't like about really glossy wheels on a black car is the tires ALWAYS need to be shiny for it to look good. Otherwise your tires just look dirty all the time, if you know what I mean by that.
Meet in the middle and do semi that's what I want to do.

And thats with bad lighting. It looks way better when youre under decent lights like at the gas station.

I have gloss black powder coated rims. I like the shiney look. You can stay matte or do a semi glass which would be satin.

Go with the gloss black, the other way looks to dull

Opinions abound but I got satin just because I personally don't want the shiny look and flat just always looks dirty.
