Go Satin Black which is in between. Gloss makes tyres look old and shyt, and matte, well each to their own

I've seen these on a black ute (without the red insert), and they looked awesome. I'm thinking of them next time I need new tyres

+1 for gloss and preferably 2 pac.

Means you can use normal car cleaning products on it

I had mine powder coated, it was a lot cheaper than painting.

Vz commodore 3.6L V6
Hey all, looking to paint my stock Vz rims gloss black but don't know if i should yet, haven't seen how they turn out and am worried to mess up my rims and have them looking a bit gay
would love an opinion from someone and perhaps some images of it being done to the same model if anyone has one

Buy a can of plastic dip and spray one if you don't like it peel it off.
