So I just bought a new 2012 Honda Accord Coupe and negotiated that the dealership would paint the stock rims (rims on the car right now) my choice of either Glossy Black (to match the car) or Matte Black.

I have looked around and do not know what would look better. I need help!

I also plan on blacking out the windows if that matters.

Glossy or Matte? Help me choose with reasons!

I put a picture of my car below.

Glossy!!!! I don't rlly like matte black and I also have v6 coupe rims painted in glossy black and I can say glossy is much nicer
 
I would suggest to go a dark gray/gunmetal color instead of all black. May be a bit too much black.
 
I'd go glossy. the matte black looks dirty.
 
you have too much black going on, but glossy ftw!

Do you really think that black paint on black rims is too much black? I looked up gunmetal colored rims. I like them, but I feel like murdered out looks so sexy. You are trying to make this choice even harder for me! :dunno:
 
even though i have a black car and black wheels, i'll agree that it's probably too much black... the things that save it are a chrome lip and size (20"). i would say keep the wheels as they are and if you want get some aftermarket wheels down the line.

EDIT: but if you're set on painting them get glossy black

I think I am going to try to get a Satin Black paint on the wheels. It looks like Glossy and will add a little contrast that will really make the car hot.

What do you all think?
 
i have my winter honda wheels matte black and i do have to agree it does look dirty if i could i would go glossy black so i say go glossy
 
Good luck on your decision! Be sure to post pics when you are done and update this thread!! :thmsup:
