Default Suzuka Blue - Flat or clearcoat painted wheels?
I'm painting my OEM wheels black and can't decide if I want to leave them flat black or do a clear coat to give them a shiny look. My car is Suzuka Blue. Any thoughts?

I have the same color car, and I to am considering this. Having seen flat black it looks like . A little glossy and it looks like an actual paint job

To me it looks to dull! Doesn't loook all that bad. As I stated earlier a big of glossy looks like a proper paint job as far as black goes.

I painted my ap2 v1s for my suzuka. I painted them glossy white, and IMO, they look really really good. I need to do a little touching up, and clean them, but regardless, the look good.

I was considering going flat white, and Im glad I didnt. This may not help since its white...lol.

I can put some pics up if youd like
