Default Black powder coated wheels-which sheen

I'm having a set of wheels powder coated black, which sheen looks better on a black car? Shiny or satin?

I'm afraid that satin will always look dirty.

I just pulled the wheels of my CTS-V (my daily driver) and doing the same thing. I plasti dipped the wheels when I bought the car and love the satin finish but can't bring myself to powder them satin, I will be going with gloss black. I plasti dipped the factory wheels on my Z06 and ran them like that for close to a year before putting aftermarket 19/20 combo on it.

Wheel gap like that should be a ticketable offense, lol.

Gaps high because it was sitting on jacks waiting for the wheels to be done. They sit almost tucked when settled (stock bolts all the way down). Any lower in Houston you are asking to mess your car up.
