Poll: gloss black or matte black VMR V715?
So I'm going to powdercoat my VMR 715's for a different look. The polished lip is too blinged out for me. What would look better on TiAg - gloss black or a matte black? I want to do the entire wheel one color.

i don't have any handy, but you can view the garage in my sig.
not listed as one of the poll choices, but i may also consider a deep charcoal/gunmetal.

I think a dark charcoal would look pretty sweet on them.
 If you get them redone, post pictures!

If you have your heart set on a black, gloss black.

Another option: Satin black
Same color as the black window trim.

I have gloss black and it looks lovely. The reason I don't like matte wheels is because you can not see them very well. Gloss however reflects light and shows the wheels off nicely

definitely post picks when you get it done. I have been considering the same thing with mine as well. I don't think i would do the textured black unless you had some dings in the lip that it my cover up.

gloss black..I had those in matte black with the chrome lip and I was not a fan of them. Couldn't tell what the wheel looked like from 6 feet away. I have gunmetal now because I could not stand not being able to see them from a distance. Waiting to install until after winter

No idea what color I'm going with now. Powdercoater can get any Prismatic Powder color, and the selection is mind-numbing...
