I have the semi gloss/satin black wheels. To me they look the best. A gloss black wheel goes weird with the tires. the glossiness of the wheels dosent match the tires. But that is my opinion

Go with the matte color - IMO it would look better on the car.

Sorry...I went with piano Black.
I agree, the wheels will have to be dressed nice and not have the dull stock sheen to them. I planned on that anyway.

Matte black with color accent strip would look great in yellow. You can't see it much on this pic but there is a blue accent stripe and center cap.

I'm partial to the polished lip on satin black myself, but any flavor black wheel really needs something to separate the wheel from the tire.
