rims for space grey

So I was just recently handed down a 335i and I'm trying to decide what color rims to put on my e90 LCI space gray. I went through a number of threads, and I've decided on black but can't decide between high gloss or matte black. I have the sports package so i have the black window trim and a piano black grille. I'm also going to either debadge the car or paint the 335i emblem black.

Any opinions between high gloss or matte? Could people post pics of their cars with either rim color?

Also, which bmw badge would you put on a space gray? the completely blacked out bmw or the black and white one? Thanks!

Gloss wheels can be hard to see, and matte looks dirty.

Go get a finish that's a satin, semi-gloss.

I love mine. I have the matte black avant garde M359 and they have just enough shine to them, but not too much.

Black looks very nice on space gray I think, I would not go with gloss though.
