Couldn't take it anymore... gloss black it is.
My street wheels are 18" OZ Ultraleggra's. They come in a satin black.
This is what it looked like...
Today, I took my wheels off and powdercoated them in gloss black. I had a painted red pinstripe put on the outside edge.
Not a night and day difference but at least they don't look dirty all the time. I still left my 17" OZ's track wheels in satin.
At least these should be easier to keep clean.

Now all you need is brake pads which produce shiny dust!

Originally I installed a yellow stripe. It looked okay with the car but red calipers, it looked bad.
So red it is....

I really like it, I'm not big on black wheels unless they have something like your red stripe. Can understand the clash between the yellow stripe and red brake.
