Powder Coat or Leave alone? I need your opinion.

If I get them powder coated, it will be glossy black. I was just quoted $350 for all four wheels.

Please, what do you think?

Mine are powdercoated and have held up very well for the 3+ years they've been in service. Only downside to going glossy is that you will have to be extra diligent in keeping them clean. Mine are matte black (just a bit shinier than yours) and you really can't tell if they're covered in brake dust.

Yeah, I like to clean my wheels, and I can't tell if these are clean or dirty and I hate that. I like to enjoy the after math of my hard work after cleaning and I can't with these matte black...
