Satin or Gloss Black wheels?
 

Just purchased me a 2011 370z Touring Sport Package with 18k Miles!
Super excited!

I want to paint the wheels black.
Should I paint them satin black or gloss black?

I think they came factory black too right? Does anyone know if they are a gloss or satin?

This looks like a satin:

While this looks more gloss:

Thanks

wouldn't spend any money on doing stuff to stock wheels

they'll be dumped when you get better wheels anyways

definitely satin finish for black cars. i have these matte graphite wheels on my black GTI. looks fantastic.

make sure u get black lugs to match.

Got my nismos along with the lugs powder coated 'Stone Black' and absolutely love them.

Satin finish it is! Thanks everyone!

Hope this helps as well. I went with Matt Black instead of Gloss Black. The main reason is because matt will hide dust better than gloss will. I'm very anal about keep the car clean. I had a set of Gloss Black wheel on one of my C6, I said "never again". What ever you go with, make sure to post pictures of the wheel. :tup:

I powder coated wheels on my Corvette once and had problems with them balancing afterwards. Anyone have problems with this on the Z?

Congratulations on the car - it looks lovely. You've made the right decision to go for satin.

I ended up sending that car back ( had it delivered) they gave me a 7 day money back guarantee. The front end had been resprayed poorly- orange peel and junk in the paint everywhere...

I ended up buying a 370z Nismo with the gun metallic wheel color - so dont need to paint anything anymore..! Thanks everyone!
