Flat black looks dull, kind like your tire, glossy is well glossy. Also, any reputable shop should have hundreds of samples for you to actually look at when you go so why don't you just go down there and figure it out.

Too flat makes the car look like those oldies that had their rim covers fall off lol

Too glossy is old school IMO, it's what's in between that will rock your ride..

Do you mean paint or powdercoat? Depending on where you go and what all you have done its usually about 125-200 per wheel.

Here's a pic of mine I just had done last month by wheel technologies out of Dallas Texas. They are a gloss black.

Powdercoat is alot more durable than paint and will not chip or crack as easy. The process that it is applied is a little different too. I dont know all the technical stuff, but basically it is a powder that is sprayed onto the metal which has some sort of electrical charge passed through it. This makes the powder bond to the surface. Then it is baked to a finish. Now adays it is alot more common thing. When I got mine done I think it was the same price as just getting them painted.
