Satin black vs. gloss black wheels

Appreciate feedback from people who have either satin or gloss black wheels.

I'm about to put on a set of winter 20" 275 square set up. I have gloss black shadowline trim & OEM black grille.

Gloss seems to match the set up a bit better but not sure how it looks or wears during the winter.

I prefer gloss. Matte black looks like Plasti Dip to me.

Glossy All The Way

I love the glossy look. It looks much better, especially when they are clean. Glossy to me is very classy. I usually plastidip my wheels for the winter in a glossy or semi-gloss to protect them from the snow and salt. Then peel them in the spring to reveal that shine. Glossy for the win. Just my opinion. Good luck

+1 for gloss, it's going to be satin black when it's dirty anyway, so really you have both!

gloss- after 2 weeks of brake dust it will be satin or flat. Agree with above.

I've OEM 20" gloss black and they look great as winter wheels. On closer inspection they do attract lots of hairline swirls though.
