    Trying to decide on a shade of black for my white A7...........Buying a set of 20" Vossen VFS1 wheels that are gloss gunmetal. May even decide to keep original color of wheels too. My Audi badges are Matte black, but I can always change those if need be.

    I had matte black on my glacier white S7; loved the look. If I had to go back to black wheels, I would do something two-toned in all black to give more contrast/depth.

    Just Bad IMO, but that's exactly what it is just my opinion, I know some people will love the look everyone has different tastes.

    Gloss - flat black wheels looks like you took a can of plasti-dip or cooking grill spray paint to your wheels.

    I've got a set of 21" satin black Klassen ID wheels that I can't wait to put on the car, it's not completely flat black but it's not super glossy. I've even had the accents on the wheels painted in gloss black to make them pop!

    Satin or Gloss for sure!! In my opinion, matte black looks horrible especially when you're driving down the road - because you can't see the design of the wheel, all you see is a black, dirty-looking matte spare-tire looking wheel. At least with satin or gloss you have a shine coming from the wheel in motion and looks good.
