RAYS Gram Light 57CR

I'm considering 57CRs vs. RPF1s. I'm looking at 17x9 (+38 RAYS, +35 RPF1s).

I have a 17 Hot Lava 86 and I've done most of my accenting in matte black. Emblems, side skirts, and soon I will have fender aero garnish in matter black plastic. My mudguards and foglight covers are also the stock matte black plastic.

I'm confused by the offerings by RAYS. I don't get the difference between gloss and glass black, and when I Google images search them, it comes up with pictures of both types mislabeled, only adding to the confusion. I know the RPF1 matte black with match perfectly with my car, but I'm curious if one of the RAYS black options will come close to matching. I wish they made a matte black 57CR to begin with. I want to get the RAYS if they have a black that isn't super glossy black.

Thanks in advance! Please comment if you own or know the difference in all the RAYS colors.

Glass Black is more matte than Gloss Black.

you can get the 57cr in a custom colour. I have a custom gold/bronze in 18x9.5+38

There are good pictures on ft86speedfactory's site of the gloss vs glass black. Glass black just has some ceramic or metal flake in it.

Both of those colors will be glossy. The Glossy Black is a high gloss plain black color. The Glass Black is a high gloss black with silver/gunmetal flake in it.

The 57CR does come in Gun Blue 2 which is a matte blue color. But no matte black available for that model.
