My car is HS not AW, but I think it will look equally good on a AW car. Also, black is always the answer lol.

I must be in the minority to think that the OEM 788M Black actually is quite nice.
I do understand the want for gloss black wheels. They do look nice; Hell my previous 3 cars had gloss black wheels. For better or worse, the 788M is quite complex. And I think the two tone keying of the wheels really help shows its feature/shape. Whether you like the feature/shape is another story. So in this regards, I feel painting it gloss black is an attempt hide it feature in this case. As these are all subjective. As long as you are happy OP, that's all it matters |

Wonder though if it'll look nice on HS. Also going to add a clear coat to make it glossy. |

I wasn't a fan of the 788M wheels in any color at launch, but they have totally grown on me. Of course a little Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour has saved my cleaning sanity.
I think they look great all black and bronze!

Painted wheels are more prone to rock chips. I bet if everyone looked closely enough at their stock wheels next time they wash the car they’d find at least one or two chips within the first few months of ownership. A chip on the black barrel really sticks out since the primer is a light gray. Powder coat however is really durable and looks just as good years later as the first day. It’s almost like paint and PPF all in one.

Yeah but only on the fronts at first. So it looks like different finishes on front and rear. Talk about custom wheels!

Dragon breath (have to buy it online it from Europe). Literally the best wheel cleaner I have ever used. A couple sprays of that thing and following the instructions, and built up grime just falls away
