Getting wheels powder coated black...glossy or matte?

tonypap · 05-06-2011, 04:06 PM

I'm getting my wheels done and can make up my mind. Wheels are 20" 2LM oem wheels on a 2012 sapphire black X6. I want to have them done in black but can't decide if they should be glossy or matte. Please post your suggestions.

Matte looks nice in black
What color is your car?

I have gloss on my Sapphire black and like them. I have matte on my 911 and put them up against the x6 and it wasn't for me.

I was thinking the same thing. Matte probably looks better on a white car.

I was thinking of getting my stock 20" style 259's powder coated.

What should it cost for all 4?

Whaddya think they'd look like on Vermillion Red X6? Black
