I vote gloss black. I think with the shiny body, the matte wheels would just look dull and/or dirty.

I like these:

I may be wrong...But I don't think you'll get quite the same outcome. I think you'll end up with more of a primer look.

I actually really like your wheels as is. I think they look great on your car. I feel like black on this wheel would take away from it, but that's jmo. Either way, they're gonna look sweet.

Chrome

I saw a pic with white ones on here somewhere...Thought it looked great but cleaning would suck.
