Gloss black IMO...so they still pop a little bit. Matte black looks bad IMO. Had it on my BMW and I hated it. Very dull/boring look. My black Forgestar F14's stand out a bit.

I put C6 ZO6 rims and tires on my c5 Z. they weren't chrome which I originally wanted. Then I did some research and I painted them satin black. Wouldn't change the look for anything else out there honestly. Just need to lower the front and it'll be perfect for me!

I'd add a pic but it won't let me on my phone ha. There's one on my profile though if anyone is curious.

I checked out your profile pic...I love those wheels! From the pic they look wide in the back. Do they sling up a lot of grime on the back of the car?

Thank you. Honestly they haven't. They're pretty wide (325-35-19)so I put some of the spray on clear bra on the back of the fender well (so it doesn't get sandblasted) but at this point I don't think I needed it. Car doesn't get any dirtier than it did with the c5Z rims and tires. Just gotta save up and get some fender flares ha.

I love that satin white Z. Never been a fan of non-gloss finishes, but that looks fantastic.
