Gloss or semi
So my roached out 99 rims are getting a fresh coat on Sunday. I'm going to use rust oleum professional high performance enamel. The question is gloss or semi gloss? I did my tacoma rims in semi and they turned out great. Any thoughts or comparison pics?

I would go Satin/semi black, always looks the best.

Don't take this the wrong way
while at first I was gonna vote Semi, the main reason I also like the Gloss is when its clean it doesn't look dirty. The Flat ones look dirty (to me anyway) even when clean. alright go with Semi. Mine is still dreamin' of me painting them....one day...

Very nice. I like painted rims because if you hit something and scuff them you just add a coat. Cant do that to nice aftermarket or powder coated rims as easily.
