Matt or Gloss black?
Why not Plastidip them for now and see how you like the black, when you decide you can peel it off and get them done.. I've plastidipped my last few cars, and then never bothered with the refurb as the Anthracite Metallic Plastidip looked very nice..

That's an approximation of whay they'd look like if you went with smoked chrome, they'd be a little darker...

nice piece of photo shopping (or was it colouring in ) mr. Savage , gives me a better idea than the alloy I was shown when I got them priced up
gloss or matt - prefer the gloss over matt , but will look into plastidip

I've got high gloss black on my Mini, they look fantastic............. when they are clean. Gloss is a higher maintenance option to look good, I'm not keen on matt black unless you are going to stealth the whole car, and smoked chrome would probably suit those wheels best anyway
