Default Gloss black or Flat black?

Ok so first of i have had 2 differnent pairs of black rims on my car gloss z06's and somewhat matte/flat black wagon wheels and both looked good but now i have polished aluminum zr1's and needing to decide about gloss black or flat black. And i will not leave a polished lip everything will be black as most zr1's that are black have apolished lip yes it looks good but not what im wanting but can change it easily if i want.

I love the all black look and set on it so please no haters about the all black i know a lot of people don't like it but i do and its what i want.

I attatched 3 pics of the different blacks and current setups.






I'm askin you guys because I honestly cant make my mind up if someone could post pics of all black camaro's with black zr1's that would be great. Thanks guys and please no flaming but if you insist go ahead.

I think the all black looks better. It's hard to tell that the gloss black and flat black is different in the pics.

flat black looks good and is easy to clean,
unlike gloss, when the get dusty they one look a like darker.

it also makes the car look rougher and meaner IMO.

Ok guys thanks I've been feeling the gloss black just thought flat black would be different but Alison may look off, so that's what I'm going to do. Mods can lock the thread now if they want to.
