Default Powder coating - different finishes?

Has anyone got any pics or even advice for which type of finish to go for when powder coating wheels (gloss, satin, silk, matt )? Don't wanna go gloss as it's a bit bufty, want something a little more 'hard' looking! Any ideas? Colour is black btw. Would also like to wax them to stop brake dust sticking but I pressume this isn't possible on Matt?

Get em painted in 2 pack with a matting agent, then it will be just like "waxing" the car/current alloys, only the wont shine!!
