Question Gloss Or Wrinkle Black Rockers?

I've got a Street Bob with the wrinkle black engine, and alloy rocker covers. I'm thinking about replacing (or painting) the rocker covers with black ones. Not sure what would look best: gloss black:



or winkle black:



What say you?

BTW, pics would be nice.

I think the wrinkle to match the engine would look best. Gloss might look ok if your bike was gloss black, but otherwise I don't think it would look as good. The blackline has gloss black rockers though if you look that bike up


EDIT: Take a look at my sig pic, FXDX has wrinkle black rockers

Oh yes, so it does:



There again, it doesn't have black heads.



Just concerned that wrinkle black rockers on an all wrinkle black engine would be too much wrinkle black (can you have too much wrinkle black? ).

Gloss if you are going to replace the cam, trans, and outer primary covers in gloss. Wrinkle if not. In my opinion the rocker, cam, trans, and primary covers should all match.
