Thank you all for the feedback. I will either go black, anthracite or leave them silver. I'm not really into the older looking styles.

I put at least 6 layers of glossifier on each wheel over the course of about two evenings per wheel. The glossifier seems to attract brake dust more and make the wheels kind of sticky even months later. It is not flat like the stock black plastidip finish but is far from what someone could call glossy. Still it was a cheap investment to see if I liked the black as much as I thought I would...and I do.
