Default Wheel color question

I'm plan on dipping or powder coating my wheels and just wanted some input. I've got a pearl white CX-5 GT and can't decide between matte black or gloss black on the wheels.

Thoughts?

I've seen pictures of the 19's in black and they look good IMHO.

I think the matte will match the trim better. I'm doing it this weekend so I'll post a pic or 2. EDIT: I should say the plastidip is satin finish. If it needs gloss, I'll use armor all. My wife thinks I'm nutz

If it repels bugs, I'll do the RV mirrors and edge of hood.
