what looks better
if you guys were to powder coat your wheels what would you do matte black or gloss? i"m taking my wheels in to get powder coated and my car is guards red and have the 10 spoke hollow 17" wheels and i am trying to decide between matte or gloss black .I also am getting the front ducts and wanted to paint them black also so want to match those.

It's funny you guys should mention the brake dust cause that's one of the reasons I wanted to powder coat them the aluminum color gets dirty easy.....I'm partial to the matte myself but I am curious though the center caps you can get on ebay that are black with the gold colored emblem are they matte or gloss black? And would it look funny having matte wheels with glossy centers?

Though I prefer the polished chrome look of Speedlines, matte black makes the most sense when it comes to brake dust...you'll never have to clean your wheels again!

I vote for gloss black. I prefer the shiny look, the matte finish dulls the whole look of the car. Just my own opinion though, when I first started seeing the matte all black look over 25 years ago I didn't like it and it hasn't grown on me.
