I personally prefer gloss. I feel like the satin makes them seems like they were Plasti-Dipped or something. ::shrug:: My $0.02.

Satin. The oem 343 blk only came in satin. Whenever you see gloss 343s you know they were powdercoated. Sooo if you want the oem blk 343 look go satin.

Gloss black will scratch easily and show those fine scratches just from normal washing. Satin will hide it better along with the brake dust. Satin...

I went with Satin... wanted the OEM look, but wasn't adamant as both would still look good.

On SG, I'd leave them silver. Not enough contrast between car paint and wheel color if they were painted black.

Gloss looks much better in person.
