I see the gloss black a lot more than the matte. IMO the matte looks way better than the gloss black and it makes the lip of the rim stand out more. So get the matte

^^^^^

Isn't that the Matte Gun Metal?


Good point on the Matte color making the lip stand out more. I agree. I am leaning towards the Matte black as I stated in my original post.

I've owned a full Matte black set of rims before. Almost anything on SS looks good...I've got tomorrow to decide for sure.


Originally, I wanted just black and after I put the deposit down, I was asked if I wanted either Gloss or Matte black.
