satin would be the correct sheen, IMO.
flat will get chaulky overtime and semigloss is TOO glossy.
dont have any pics, but seen several rims done this way and they look killer.

you can also get up with holeshot wheels. they offer a black anodizing that is SICK.
not sure how much, but its well worth it from the look.

I don't think the flat black wheels look all that great. I think a satin would look pretty good though.

WOW! That looks really good! Gorgeous car.

I'm not a fan of that style wheel on T/A's, but that color combo looks awesome.

Gives me something to think about for my NBM 'Bird.
