So my wheels are all primed and ready to go but Im not sure which finish to go with. I bought gloss and semi-gloss but figured Id ask on here too. Which finish is standard when painting wheels black?

Here's the rims I did on my GS450. Dupli-Color engine semi-gloss black.
And here's the rims I did for my GS1100E. Dupli-Color Wheel Paint dark metallic gray, I believe. The outsides were polished by hand.

Yep, the standard Suzuki colour was a dark grey/charcoal type colour, a smidgen darker than you have on yur 1100 wheels there.
There is a thread here somewhere, someone mentioned it was a dead ringer for some or other Chrysler (I think) colour called anthricite or something, I don't remember the exact details.

I used Rustolium Wheel Paint, turned out to be a semi gloss black.

I used VHT caliper paint in gloss black. They also have a satin black. If you want to do any polishing, do it first. Then mask and paint. I also used a self etching primer first.
