Ready to race!
I've had my rims in satin/matte black for a while now and the paint is starting to fade and the original gold finish is starting to show through. Fortunately, the paint job is still under warranty so I can get them re-finished for free. I personally enjoy to black on white look so I will not be changing the color, however, I have been debating whether to possibly get them done in a glossy finish. I like the satin look but the finish has a tendency to catch a lot of brake dust, especially with the BBK, and requires some pretty hard scrubbing to remove, unlike dust on glossy finishes that is a LOT easier to remove. I think that the TSW Nurburgrings might look good in glossy, but I feel like black wheels in gloss have a cheap look (despite the fact that porsche paint their black wheels in gloss) :iono:
I know this is one of those situations where I should just go with what I want, but in this case, I am an undecided mofo :23:
So what does everyone think? Does gloss black look cheap or does it look better than matte?
Here's a picture of current finish. It's satin and not fully matte, but after a day of driving, the dust turns them completely matte.
