    for my chevy II that is in my avatar pic i am trying to figure out what i want to do for the wheel color.
    I have a set of chevy camaro rallye wheels that i can put on it
    but i also like the california smoothie wheels
    but the delema is gloss or flat
    the interior and wheels will be painted but the body will be how it is in the pics,
    the color is a turquoise so i can match my interior that i had done a while back
    so what ya guys think
    gloss, or flat

    Gloss. You'd have to repaint the flat once a year to keep them clean

    the body will be painted but for the remainder of this year and till i have some other suspension issues wrapped up i am leaving to body so i dont mess anything up after i paint it
    but it will be getting painted
    possibly this winter, just depends on funds. since i have a new baby at home money gets tight

    keep your pants on kids,
    like i sadi above i am not going for a rat thing for my final goal,
    it will get painted and i just picked the color out the other day,
    i had to paint some mailbox's to figure out what i wanted but it works
    now i just have to figure the flames out
    and if you dont think it should be flamed than bite me
    I WANT IT FLAMED :D
    thanks for the input

    what everyone else said. gloss wheels, at the very least clean base coat/primer, and no rat.

    good on ya for doing all the suspension stuff first. it makes them alot nicer to drive.

    Gloss has my vote as well. Trying to keep gloss clean sucks, but flat on wheels would really suck!
