I have two sets for my car - hollow spokes for the street and CCWs for auto-x and the track!

Jonas-- A long drive from Sweden, but: my black wheels are currently on display at the New York International Auto Show's showcase of the LeMay Museum.

These were installed by the PO but I actually think black wheels are just "meh"...I think dark or medium grey looks much better.

No, actually they are very easy to clean, and they don't show the dirt easy either. The place where I had them powder coated said they used 5% gloss in the paint, because a total matte finish would get smooth areas from cleaning or rubbing. The first pictures I posted make the wheels look very matte, but they actually pick up a little shine in bright light - just not too much.
