Got some 20's for nothing off my mom's old XC90, but the chrome is shot. Going to get them blasted and powder coated black but I can't decide on flat, matte, or gloss. What do you guys think?

FYI: theses are the wheels but not the rubber I will be running. Just using them as a mock up. I hit the wheels with a flat black rattle can. Turns out I will need a set of hub rings, but I found a set online for $28.

With powder coating I can get almost any color...

What were you thinking? I was just going for the blacked out look.

Gunmetal or Anthracite would be my choice, but I basically do not like black wheels at all. Reminds me too much of my young days where took the hub caps off and painted steel wheels black.

Anthracite does look pretty sweet:

This is what I went with. Steel Gray Pearlescent is the color name, powdercoated. Running 245/30/20 Yokohama Advan ST's and about a 1.5" drop.
