Hand Polished or Powdercoated Gloss Black???
Hey guys, I'm looking to switch things up a bit w/ my wheels. My car is crystal white pearl on polished Linea Corse Dyna's. I'm becoming somewhat bored w/ the polished finish and would like to change the finish to one of the following:
Hand Polished (almost like chrome)
OR
Powdercoated Gloss Black
I can't really decide. What do you guys think?

I personally dont like gloss black on rims. If i were you, i'd do flat black and polished lip.

I'm a fan of black wheels but I'd take the polished one in this case.

polished. But if you decide to powdercoat them, do flat black center with polished black lip.
