I'm thinking of getting my wheels refurbed and painted black but I am unsure whether to go gloss black or satin black. is there a massive difference in the two? Any advice and pics would be really helpful

cheers

Satin is a pita to keep clean and will chip more easily

With a silver car I'd go matt or satin. Non metallic car then gloss wheels IMHO.

(I had the wheels on my crimson red 944 re-furbed in BMW Diamond Black which is very high gloss metallic - would be too much on a metallic car).

gloss, they`ll turn matt, satin anyway once the brake dust gets on em

cheers guys, i have seen a few silver imprezas with gloss black wheels I must admit they do look good, but i was told that if you curb them they will really show up. I dont think I have seen any satin ones.... still unsure.

I have a silver blob and I've just painted mine gloss black. They look the bizz. I really like the satin black look but they are gonna be harder to keep clean so I went with gloss in the end.
Just need to make sure I stay away from the kerbs now

Not a fan of black wheels.........if you don't dress the tyres then the tyres always look a dirty brown colour. I prefer anthracite / bright flitter etc. Or white LOL

All IMHO
