Help-Powdercoat Gloss or Semi

Help me decide. I have a powdercoating appointment tomorrow at 8am.
I have a stock OB g37 sport with 15%tint and 19" Sport rims.
Powdercoating rims:
  1. Gloss Black?
  2. Semi-Gloss Black?
  3. Matte Black?

I will probably upgrade to vossens or ssr's at some point and i know gloss will have the best resale value, however i believe semi-gloss will look best(?)
And the only reason i do not just sell them and upgrade is because i bought brand new tires the day i bought it a month ago and that was about $1k so i intend to get some use out of them.

Thanks for any and all help!!

Neither of the above. Go with Graphite or Gun Metal. It would provide a great contrast to your ride.

I like the gunmetal idea better unless you're going for a murder look, then I would say gloss black.

Haha, I don't blame you.. LA has the ugliest roads that I've driven on LOW.. So I guess you gotta drive on a 4x4 stance.

Btw, bags are for groceries.
