IMO berger's always look best in flat black. As for the wheels, I would do a gloss black with a machined/polished lip.

well all gloss like i have not sure if there powder or painted yet lol...
if it is painted it was done perfect and professionally
its hard to do that with a rattle can imo if ur gonna spraycan go with satin its more forgivable if you mess up here and there.
if powder coating go gloss!

also im wondering if your those black outs have melted your talilights? i have had mine on for 3 weeks and it warped in some were the middle bulb is at..
