flat looks much better D:
i always think the gloss look kinda "loses" the wheel where the flat look is more defined, makes the car look nicer.

Either way they look nice, throw them on! what tire you have picked out?

I dunno I kinda like the gloss black better. I always thought flat black wheels just looked dirty. I was gonna repaint mine yesterday but the 90% humidity kinda ruined that for me lol
