Default Gloss Black or Silver ?

What do y'all think ? I'm trying to decide to go with the gloss black or silver C6 wheels on my 96 Ws6. Here's a few teaser pics any help or comments is appreciated.

I've had both, but my black was a flat black not gloss. I have the stock c6 painted silver since one of my black ones developed two cracks on one wheel. After seeing the silver I really like the silver a lot more. I really enjoyed black rims and would do again but in gloss definitely. They were both on a white Camaro.

I've thought about buying them http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/pts/4539217223.html but I wouldn't be in a place to buy tires for them till next tax season and I really want wheels on the car sooner then that.

I've been looking at wheels like you have since I can find them cheaper and easier.

Gloss black is my choice. At least do satin. Flat black looks dingy and grimey even when clean.
