I have been reading a lot about new wheels for my magnetic gray SR5 4wd premium. I was going to get Fuel vector rims and was told by a few folks that matte black rims are not so great because they look washed out very fast. Am told you have to armour all them to keep them nice. I want low maintenance rims that stay looking nice. Is Satin the way to go to keep the wheels with a little shine? Gloss seems to shiny. I am concerned about matte looking terrible after a few months and never had black rims before. Looking at Helo 901s, XD 129 Holeshot, XD 132 RG2, or XD 131 which are all Satin. I want to stay with 17 inch but appreciate any advice on Matte vs Satin and any thoughts on the wheels mentioned if you think they would look good. Wanting something kind of unique, but the numerous brands and selections are killing me lol. Thanks!

I pc-d my 1st set flat & within a yr I spent 75 to redo them satin , they clean a lot easier & stay fresh looking !
Yep that is what I am hearing with Matte wheels! They look good for first 3 months and then it is a battle to keep them looking not washed out. There are so many matte wheel choices out there. Surprised nobody else is saying anything. I just don’t want to have to armour all my wheels every week to keep them looking good. Anybody else out there want to chime in? Do some companies have better matte wheels then others as far as paint is concerned?
