I found someone that will powder coat my wheels black. Now the question is Flat or Gloss? I really cant make up my mind so i figured i'd ask here and get some opinions. I'm thinking gloss because everything else on my truck is glossy but then again i'm thinking flat because it wouldnt stand out as much as gloss would. So maybe someone can help me out.

I think gloss. Flat is more for big lifted trucks like Aarons. Look at the ones on my truck, they are gloss.

FLAT, gotta have some contrast. Gloss black wheels on a gloss black truck is to much gloss black.

Yeah i just got my hood painted about a month ago. I just havent had time to take/update any pics of it. It looks sweet.

I was wanting to powdercoat my bumper too but the guy doing my wheels cant do it because he says his oven isnt wide enough. IDK... I may just end up buying a primed one..
