Question for those with the dark alloy wheels.

Hey all,

I'm the soon-to-be proud owner of a 2016 sGT hatch I'm picking up within a few weeks. I got the appearance package installed, and while I wanted the dark alloy wheel kit, I figured I would just Plasti-Dip them instead and save $1k. However, I wanted to know if the wheels have more of a glossy finish or a metallic finish to them (or if they're both). I'm not yet sure if I should buy the Plasti-Dip glossifier or metalizer. Additionally, if somebody has the dark wheels, I'd love to see an actual non-press photo to get an idea of what they look like in person so I can choose the correct color accordingly. I'm thinking about laying down a few base coats of black and then going over them with the graphite metalizer, but it would be extremely useful to see some pictures so I know exactly what I should be looking for.

Thanks for the help!
