I recommend Satin black. The guy who powdercoated mine told me that Gloss is REALLY hard to keep clean.

I suppose so. They asked me what kind of finish was on the wheels and apparently they've done cobalt stock wheels before because they knew about the gunmetal and polish finishes.

Mine arent powdercoated but they were painted when my car was keyed last winter. So mine are color-matched. Black on black is the way to go

I painted my 17" stockers when I put them on for winter tires.

We don't get much snow around here so having summer tires for beaters didn't really bother me.

Bump for more pictures.

Still not decided yet. I want to see a bronze on a black cobalt. Or even just a bronze in general.

Looks good. Bronze would look best if it was fully bronze.
