mine appears to be a semi gloss. They strip the original silver/gray, then run the wheel through a powdercoat. They then let it sit for a week, then do it again. It was a 3 week process from when I dropped them off until pickup. The finish (now black) is smoother now that it was originally in the silver. It looks beautiful, and its the same process they are using on the Indy race cars, brickyard cars, etc. Very shiny, very smooth.
