Default black powder coated wheels?

i have IS 350 smoky granite mica with stock 18's. Thinking of black powder coating wheels either matte black or gloss black. Your opinions and suggestions? Live in the Huntsville area in Alabama. Anyone know of a good place?

I'd go gloss black, but if you dip your emblems go matte. I'm planning on painting my rims too, I spent too much $$$ on slamming my car, getting my JDM window visors and getting my GFX lip kit lol hopefully I can get my dream wheels with my bonus in a few months

It will cost you $400 (average?) to powdercoat, just buy a set of rims...I found some cheap ones the other day. I started a thread, check them out. I think I am going to get them this weekend.
