No one that I know has Matte black on their G37. You would prob be the first.

PC looks and lasts much better than paint. Get it done professionally from a place that warranties their work.
nice sum up heat but just to clarify.. mine aren't 100% glossy.. I asked the shop to do it completely flat.. then i found out they were semi-flat.. he said they looked nicer this way so I stfu and walked away lol

had my rims PCed for a lil over a year a never had problems with chipping. paint chips eventually tho, so i would highly advice the PC. get a pro to do it too, pretty long and tedious process. gl

Hey, I saw a BO with gloss black pc'd rims today at the DFW G meet. He is new to myg37.com so maybe he will posts some pics. Definitely looks good. It really blended with the car if that is what you are looking for. Some shops can also add some metallic to the coating.

love that blacked out 37.

my wheels cost me just $320 including tax. the most expensive part is prepping the wheels by sandblasting but if they're in good shape then it doesnt take long. theres a couple decent shops here in jax and i was surprised how cheap it was.
