Which colors should I get MATTE BLACK OR GLOSSY BLACK?!?!?!?!?!

Too the Moderators, please leave this thread on the general page for a lil before moving to the rims section please, I want to get peoples opinions.. Thanks.
Actually after reading this you shouldn't move it at all please, I mean its about what colors I should get... PLEASE... Want to get more peeps thoughts on this Thanks

Anyways, Ok I want to buy some new rims for my car, Style 260M Wheels, my car is Alpine White, and I want these in black, but I'm not sure if I should get them in Matte Black or Glossy Black???? As well this makes me think I mean should I get my exterior trim Matte Black or Glossy Black???? Then comes the question should my front kidney grills be Matte Black or Glossy Black?????? GRRRR I'm soo confused on these 2 options!! Anyways, please give me your guy's input on this thanks!
