black wheel help
I'm going to pull the trigger. I'm painting or powdercoating my speedlines. I have a 04 black C5Z, the question is what shade of black for the wheels ?? Gloss/Semi-gloss/Flat/Matte. Some of the all black C5's look killer then some look so-so. I think the shade of black on the wheels plays a big role. So whats everybodys suggestion ?? And some pics to back up your opinion would be great! Thanks

I don't have any pictures as examples, but for the ones I've seen that look good the wheels match the body color. Use high quality single stage urethane in the color that the body is done in (take the paint code to the paint distributer with you).

Thanks for all the feedback. Great looking cars. So is there a difference between matte/ satin/ semi-gloss ?? They seem to be different words for the same finish. Or maybe matte/ satin/ flat ?? Right/Wrong??? Thanks!!
