    I'm really liking the raw look of the Matt! There's more depth to them, but have been warned that there not as easy to keep clean and they can show up small marks/scratches .... Having said that I'm fastidious and clean wheels down after every ride...

    I had the gloss many years ago, don't get me wrong they still look stunning! But you only see the carbon finish when your up a little closer to the bike....

    Matt looks nice but you clean wheels a lot so would they not slowly polish them selves up over time?
    Could end up looking patchy maybe?
    I would try find someone that has owned a Matt set and ask questions as I'm only guessing

    I would go for gloss personally unless you have other carbon matt on your bike.
