Satin black or matte black alloy wheels?

[Westy606]

I'm getting my alloy wheels sprayed next week and I am torn between satin black and matte black, I have a candy white Ibiza, IT'S SO HARD TO DECIDE

Are all the trims matte or gloss

 

[Tricksc]

i would go for gloss black instead of satin or matte for a candy white ibiza.

Gloss black Got glosss on my Leon, looks great.

Why don't you go for anthracite? Most white mk5 on here have black alloys...would be nice to see anthracite on a white mk5

Satin finish would look much better on wheels IMO

Brake dust will stick to a matte finish

Think matte would look good but would be a nightmare to keep clean for this reason

I went for matte black. You can check out the colour in my RR thread. Sometimes when thoroughly cleaned they are left with a very mild sheen. But as G3K said, they get covered in brake dust.

If you want them to stand out better, go for Satin Black.

I actually agree with this.

Black is a pain in the arse to show up on photos and unless you have OCD, look nasty without the wheels constantly tyre dressed.

Strange really as I have black alloys but anthracite look nice.

Now I am even more undecided and it goes in tomorrow!

Ahh, bugger!

Look at some pics of black ones like mine, ones like 5509433 has and anthracite ones like what yaue10 has. Should help. All in RR threads in our sigs

I'm going for stain black! I really like the anthracite though!

Have you had them done now?

Which wheels are they btw?

I had my Octi VRS wheels done gloss black 2 weeks ago, but if it wasn't for all the gloss black trim on the Cupra then I'd of gone with Anthracite hands down.

Why not have them painted White?

I went for gloss black. I think gloss looks good but that's just me..... imo just go with what every YOU want.... we've all done ours, but that doesn't mean you have to follow the crowd.
