gloss......matte or flat scratch just as easy & always look dirty (I've really tried to talk myself into liking black wheels many times but it just ain't happening ). IMO

Nice car! Did you go through a forum vendor? I've been looking for a set of Forgestars but not too many dealers carry the cf10

I don't like the contrast between a gloss wheel and the tire. I think it matches up better with a satin or matte finish. Even on a gloss black painted car. If you look at mcandrew67's pic you can see what I'm talking about. The wheel and tire color match up rather nicely.

Your right, matte black wheels blend with the tires, which blend with the wheel openings, so that they are all one indistinguishable matte black blob with no form to distinguish size, shape, style or function of anything.

No went through an outside vendor. I don't think any vendors stock them they are all made to order. I was quoted 6 weeks and took a little less.
As for the Gloss versus Black, I found looking at pictures that the gloss tends to reflect a lot and you lose the definition, if you look at my pic you can really see the definition on the wheel spokes.
It's all about personal preference, we all have different tastes, and then there's people like idontknowjack with no taste at all along with no class. But thats who he is on here and we all know it.

Having no taste and no class is displaying your assault weapon collection scattered all over the interior of your C6 on this Forum, and then thinking you are cool. Not cool dude, not at all.

Some people got the humour referencing all the threads about where to store their firearm that were being posted at the time.
But I don't expect you to have the intelligence to see the corrolation, it's ok Jack, I accept you for what you are.... although most on here can't....

Humor is not spelled "humour", and correlation is not spelled "corrolation"; so tell us more about your intelligence.
