Painting 214's need help on color
 
I have an 2010 X5d with 214's, wide fenders, and all black front end. I want to have my 214's painted black but I can not decide what finish I keep going back and forth so I need your advice please. The options are:

Gloss
Matte/Satin
Textured

This picture is an example of textured on the left and matte/satin on the right:

I like the textured look. It would match the black plastic fender flares.

the textured look will hide the dirt/dust overall. however, i think the matte/satin will look better.

I would go with textured as well...

My X5 is Jet Black with black painted kidneys and black mesh grills. To me the textured looks much better when just looking at the wheel. My concern is that it may not look quite as good ON the car. My dad thinks that when the car is slightly dirty and dusty the wheels will look even dirtier as though they are caked with break dust. The matte does also seem a bit more elegant and refined. My initial preference was definitely the textured but with time I seem to be shifting over to the matte...
