CCW Refinishing

I have CCW Classics on my vette and currently have black centers. My question is I am needing to refinish them. The black almost appears to be paint and it is kind of flaking off a little. Should I go with Satin, Glossy, or Flat finish on the centers and should I have them painted or powder coated?

If the finish was from CCW then I believe they only anodize the centers not powder coat or paint them. If you are staying with black I would have them powder coated not painted. I paid something like $45 to have each center powder coated from a local shop and $25 for the lips.

I really do love the look of fully polished but it is enough work just keeping the lips polished!

Semi-gloss powder coated. Fully polished would look amazing but I have 505's and there a pain in the *** enough, Classics have way to many spokes to keep them looking right...
