I've got my GSXR and FZR wheels ready to bring to the powder coater.  I'm going with a similar grey color as the stock wheels, but can't decide what 'sheen' would look better.  All suggestions or opinions are welcome!

I would go full gloss.
Ease of cleaning being a big consideration.

Mark, I don't know if high gloss is in fashion or out at the moment(if it's out then wait a few weeks) but I find it is so much easier to keep clean than semi or flat. Besides, it makes your bike go faster.

The satin is hard to keep clean . go with a gloss.

I was leaning to the gloss.  Looks like the gloss has it 4-0 

Thanks

Sheen doesn't matter as long as you get them done in periwinkle!

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
