Gloss, that way you can still wax your car.

ShaneGT,

I think they'll look great regardless of the color. IMO it depends on the color of the car. If you have a high gloss/bright color I'd go with the gloss black. But if you have a flatter color I'd go with the matte black!

This is just my opinion, I'm sure the car will look great either way! Let me know if you have any questions.

- Dan

Depends in the wheel finish.

Flat black if the wheels aren't glossy and glossy black graphics if they are.

Considering the custom look from RTR, I would go with the matte kit - definitely more aggressive

Agree. Go with wheel color

BUT... glossy = you can still wax over it no problem and...... if you REALLY wanted to, just tape off based on the stripes and Plasti Dip over it for matte and take off later. Some people hate Plasti Dip but just a suggestion.

So why did AM discontinue these? I wonder if the company who makes the RTR package got pissed?

I found this one....but how acurate are they?

Also, they offer a broad range of colors which is frustrating since they dont show pics.

Basically, I want to do just the side stripes in the same light blue that they used on the real Kona RTRs..I'm just not convinced that these will look enough like the real deal.

Maybe someone or some entity told them to cease and desist before anything happens.

Personally to me it looks off from the 'real' RTR pics so I don't see how that could be the case?

I sent AM Dan a message. I guess i'll just have to wait now. If i would have known they were pulling them, i would have ordered them and held them until i was ready.
