On the wheels? They look the same. Either way I say gloss, however I think bronze would look nice on that color of car.

Off topic but why does your gs have drums in the rear?

I thought only 95's had drums.
Oh yeah, gold or bronze would look sweet but if you have to do black I like the gloss

I think.a bright red would look good my car was red with dark red wheels before I painted it. But I like the flat better then the gloss.

Nope. They came as a factory option. My 97 had discs in the back. It was bone stock. As for the wheels i vote BRONZE! That color red and bronze were meant to be!!

I did my Evo 8's gloss and looked sexy plus it's easier to clean.

Gloss by far. Satin reminds me of steelies lost in time and in need of a bad cleaning. Clean gloss wheels certainly look better then faded looking black. Your car is a diamond "star" let that star shine.

As long as you're painting stuff black, pull off those rear drums and do them as well. No need to bring attention to them by painting them fire engine red.
