Default Opinion needed on powdercoat options

So I'll be getting the Enforcer wheels I got from a member here powder coated and installed on my '12 SG when I get home. The bike is Vivid Black and I'm going back and forth between getting the wheels done in the same color or possibly going a Flat Black. I'm kinda thinking the flat black would give it a little offset, but don't know if I'll like it. Thoughts?

I would do gloss black to match paint, I think it would look better imo.

It's wasn't about knowing what I would like, maybe I should have worded the question different. But basically just wanted to see if people have seen this setup with either powder coat color since I have not.

A lot of cars with gloss paint are sporting flat black rims these days. I dunno how long it will last but it looks pretty cool. I'll probably gloss mine with a red stripe on the outside. I haven't decided yet.

I have had a couple of sets of front rotors warp after I had my stockers powder coated. The first time my ESP covered it and the next time the service manager kind of balked on doing it again until the PC'd surfaces for the rotors were confirmed as to not be contributing to the warping so be sure the coater protects the mounting areas for the rotors, it can cause problems with warped rotors

Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind when I drop them off and look for it when I pick them up.

You can also go low gloss to match the hand controls or wrinkle to match the motor......
