Powder Coating Style 5s What color? Matte or Gloss black? pollished lip or black?

Im in the process of cleaning up a set of style 5s right now for my car and my car is BSM and as of now it is all blacked out besides window trim and i do plan on blacking that out. I have the lips pollished now but i was looking at some pictures and i really liked how it looks with the center being matte and the barrel being gloss black with the bolts polished..

Did something similar on some wheels on a Volvo I have. Honestly, if I could go back, I would have done something that stands out more. Probably like a brass plated center and gloss lip

Pics for reference:

If you're planning on blacking things out, I'd probably do matte centers with gloss lips, with the bolts some other color to add a bit of contrast.
