Default glossy black vs. flat black for black V1...

Hey guys,

I'm really considering painting my stockers gloss black. Does anyone have any pics of v1's with flat black wheels? i searched google and mostly came up with the v2 black diamond wheels. Feel free to post up the gloss black wheels aswell...

thanks in advance

After having seen black cars with both gloss and flat black wheels, I'm personally going goldilocks and getting mine powder coated in semi-gloss black. Gloss looks good if you have tire shine on your tires 24/7 and flat looks good if there is some separation like on a 4x4 truck. Probably doesn't help much but it's just my personal conclusion after wrestling with the idea myself. Plus semi-gloss to me looks like something that would have come out of the factory.
