i finalized my built today. i optioned the black glossy caliber. Should i go with the satin or glossy black paint finish on the rim .My car is racing yellow and i chose the black gloss finish. However i am still not sure on the rim paint finish. I presently have the satin finish on my 991.2 , but i notice that the finish in satin seems to be harder to clean

Satin.
Glossy rims take away from the RY pizzazz.. Satin supports RY better.
Brake dust blends in nicely with the satin. So, rims (and the car) look the same whether you clean them or not.

I went with Satin, but I can see glossy working had I gone with black for example for the wheel... otherwise, it is just too much "bling"..

I have the glossy rims but would have been just as happy with the Satin. Honestly my glossy wheels do not really have much "bling" to them. They seem understated to me.

Satin. Glossy looks dirty about 2 miles after they've been washed and scratches etc from sandblasting. Ask me how i know.................

I had satin on my 991.2 - a nightmare to clean despite ceramic coating and they always looked dirty shortly after cleaning. The problem is when they are clean they look like the gloss black wheels!. Ordered gloss black on the C2S and not only are they easier to clean, but they also stay cleaner longer and def don't have swirls/ scratches.
