I was in the same predicament mate, and i just had my 17inch rotas painted gloss black, I am well chuffed with them. I was considering matt black but I am pleased with my choice. I think the black gloss will go great with your colour motor.

i'm personally thinking about going anthracite on my invoit redlines, as the dirt shows up a bit too easily with gloss black and looks **** unless the tyres have been recently dressed (1st pic looks a lot worse than the 2nd)

I've had anthracite wheels too and they were just as hard to keep clean and polish up, i guess its just personal choice, if we all had the same colour wheels that would be a bit boring hey...

Hi mate,would like to know why you went for gloss over matt and were they powdercoated.

Hi mate.IMHO your wheels look good as they are.I do the tyres with every clean of the car so no problems there.
