Default Black Wheels: Matte or Polished Finish?

No chrome on this JK, so will polished black wheels be too shiny?
Do the matte black wheels ever look clean? and are they a better match for the stock grey fenders?

I like the matte finish better. The Gloss looks good too if you have black paint.

I say go matte black. It flows a lot better with everything else on the Jeep. I only went with gloss black because they didnt have matte black wheels in my specs. Ill eventually get them powdercoated matte after some rock rash.

I've still got stock rubicon rims (which have a ton of rock rash)... I've have been contemplating some black rims too... I like the idea of flat black because you can just spray paint them when they get all marred and scratched.

Not the best pics in the world but here are my XD Addicts matte black. I like em' because the faux bolts on he edge are the same painted silver as my bumper.
