Gloss or matte??

Hello hello...

Well I sent off my front right wheel to get it fixed after a pothole had cracked it open and it came back gloss black. My current setup has the rest of my wheels painted matte black.

Sooo... What do you guys think? Which looks nicer? I can go both ways.

Never liked matte wheels, they look dirty even when they're clean.

Gloss all day long
