Default Flat / Glossy / Other for TT2's?

I'm thinking about powder coating my TT2's black with a polished lip and center cap. I'm just trying to figure out whether to do them glossy or flat black. Any opinions? My car is black with silver stripes. Any pictures would be helpful also. Thanks, guys.

**EDIT** - Mods, please fix the poll. It should be Flat Black / Glossy Black / Other. Thanks.

I'd say glossy black to match the paint. I wanted to go gunmetal on my TT2's but I ended up just painting the WS6 wheels I had because I didn't want to ruin the TT2's. They are now for sale if your interested ( the WS6 wheels that is)

No thanks, I like the TT2's. But the "other" idea is because I'm kinda thinking about gunmetal look as well.

glossy looks way better, flat looks tacky and unfinished

I voted glossy, but I am biased.

If u don't already have the TTIIs these were only $124 each at Discount Tire Direct (plus free mount balance and ship).Only downside is the cheap center caps. I am currently running w out centers...looks "all business" I think.
more pics at http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/subtlez28/
And I have lowered the car since these pics, just don't have any newer still pics.
++edit: Sorry, just checked out your car domain, I see u do already have the TTIIs++

Yeah, that's one of the ideas I've been tossing around.
