I'd keep it as is as a first choice and semi as a second. Painting them black would hide the wheel design imo which is gorgeous.

This is why glossy will work best for your car. Semi-gloss will look like a mistake.

I would typically say semi, but the rest of your detail pieces you've had done are glossy.

But I don't care for the glossy look of those wheels.


I say keep 'em stock.

I'd say gloss, because semi would only look good if it was 100% clean. Gloss wheels can get a little dirtier and still look decent IMO.

But I'd leave them stock, the white with black accents look is good, but overplayed. If anything, get them painted the same white as your car, and maybe get the calipers painted glossy black?

Use the money you'd use to powder-coat them, and donate it to the Child's Play drive.

You should leave them stock and use the money on a few hooked on phonics lessons.
