if you powdercoat, i would get at least semi gloss. i love mine and the dodge above has at least semi gloss on them.

search for a thread posted by cuerva. he plasti dipped his texas editions matte black and most people didnt like them in the matte black. most suggested he return them back to normal which in his case looked better i would think because of the wheel design itself. someone commented wheels looked dirty. anyway, cuerva is one of my fave trucks, lotta nice work and fast.

with the centerlines, i think semi-gloss will look better. check out the above thread to get a better idea of what you would like. good luck bro.

just bumped cuerva's thread to make it easier for you bro.

If you never wash your truck which it doesnt look like you do id go with the flat, if you do gloss will always look better with a nice clean truck, imo anyway..

Gonna look sick man! Just realized I have those same chrome wheels but in 18" lol.

Only thing I would suggest is spray the wheels with them standing up not laying down.

Hey! I wash my truck! My driveway is a 1/4 mile long dirt road. When winter sets in I don't wash my truck as often. The interior is always clean though.
