    Shouldn't you be answering that question?

    As far as the the finish goes, that's determined by whether you get a clear coat, or not.

    If your asking for opinions, I would go with a satin, or high gloss. I think flat black wheels are played. I can't say I ever liked them.
    The powdercoater I went with for my wheels had a cool color called black chrome. I've never seen that color on the street. It's kind of on the flashy side, but still cool. They mostly looked like a high gloss black, but with more depth.

    Well, they came and picked it up, went with a satin. Don’t like the gloss so much, and didn’t really dig the flat. So satin it was. Will see in 2 days.

    I always prefer satin over a high gloss or super flat look. You won’t be disappointed. Also just did my rings!7818DF4A-F8E5-491E-961C-6A0D9BDFACD8.jpg
