I'm not sure about the wheel pattern, but I like the color. Maybe a bit closer to satin as opposed to flat matte would be better, but I like satin black. Especially on that silver!

Those wheels actually came with in gloss black with a chrome lip and I painted them with Plastidip when I had them on my wife's car. The chrome lip didn't look good with her black/white theme.


Now they are back to the original paint (stripped with WD-40 and a pressure washer) and on my daughter's Arctic Silver '99.
