Thx for the feedback. Yeah, I was hoping it wouldn't be matte on the surface as the brake dust will get baked in rather easily. Hoping for something like the E39 M5 gunmetal type wheels (grey-ish but with an invisible clearcoat, although brake dust ended up eating hrough mine over the years too), or anything like Audi offers on their cars (e.g. there is a Titanium package on the new B8 S4, as their was on the B7 RS4).
