Default Gloss Black or Black Powdercoat wheels?

I have a set of wheels shown in th attachment that I plan on putting on my WS6. They are oem WS6 wheels, they were originally polished alluminum, Then I had them painted silver now I feel like changing the color. Im having a hard time deciding wether to get them painted gloss black w/ machined lip or black powdercoated w/ a machined lip. They will be going on my 2001 SOM WS6. The picture of my ws6 is a little outdated, it now has all front & side lights blacked out & am planning to do blackout taillights & CETA mod. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks

Yeah thats kind off what I was leaning towards I just didnt know wether they would contrast much w/ the blacked out lights & CETA mod since they are shinier & have a gloss compared to powdercoating.

High gloss black powdercoat, with a red or SOM pinstripe.

IMO, You shouldn't need to get them clear coated, a high gloss black powdercoat should be all you need for them to be nice and shiny!
