Need some input on colours.

So I've decided to get me wheels painted all black over the winter. I know it's a while away but I'm looking for some input.

I'm trying to decide if I want the to be :

1. Gloss black lip with matt black face

2. Gloss black lip and gloss black face

3. Matt black lip and matt black face.

What do you guys think? I know at the end of the day it's me choice, but I'm curious to what my fellow members have to say.

Thanks.

Gloss Black Lip with Matte Black Face FTW. Having a Matte Black Lip will blend with the tires too much and will give the illusion of having thick sidewalls.

give us some pics! im not really a fan of black lips in general because like gamedog said it gives the illusion of a thick sidewall, although it looks good normally on white with a white pinstripe... but to choose from those options id go with gloss black lip for some definition and maybe a pin stripe but i dont really know what color combo ur going for, and yea matte black face FTMFW!!!!

Here's an example.

My car right now has blackedout tails, painted headlights and black grill.
