Default Powdercoat Flat Black or Gloss?

Well I traded a guy my chrome rims for some aluminum ones today. Im going to get them powdercoated on Monday, 160 for all four. Wasn't the cheapest place around, but I had my 100gal fuel tank done there and they did a good job. The truck looks like crap with these alum wheels and chrome everything else!

Anyway, I am torn between this...flat or gloss black? I was thinking gloss but flat really stands out...so what do you guys think? my sig is big enough to see my truck I think

Satin is kind of cool - just a little bit of sheen, but basically flat looking.

hmm I didnt ask if they had a satin....pretty good consensus about NOT doing gloss so far....I had a pic of a guy who did gloss and it looked pretty cool, thats why I was gonna do that....

Semi gloss would be my pic. But all that matter's is that you like the color you pick. Post pic's when you are done.
