OEM Wheels - Gunmetal or Gloss Black

I'm trying to decide which color to powdercoat...

So, Gunmetal or Gloss Black.

Anyone have pictures of both or can someone photoshop them on my vehicle?

Here's the canvas:

Link to pics? I've searched gunmetal and it's hard to find good photo's.

Also, anyone know of any cars with Gloss Black stockers? I would love to see those pics as well.

I like them how they are. I've never cared so much for powdercoating OEMs.

Gun metal. Gloss black requires a lip.

for a quick second, I though the top pic was a mustang.

Anyways, I vote gun metal.

Thinking of doing this as well. My bro F*cked up my stockies, dropped one of them face down while rolling them.

I'd say black, gun metal is so close to the silver finish from the factory it doesn't look too different to the untrained eye. Obviously we could tell the difference in the colors, but no one else will. Black IMO.


Very subtle....
