They are all nice wheels. Ultimately it has to be your decision and personal taste.You are the one who is going to live with them. Your going to get a wide vary of opinions on the forum, again based on their personal taste. All I can offer is my personal experience with winter wheels in Southern Ontario. Open spoke design IMO work better for ease of cleaning in winter. Matte can be a nightmare in winter with all the salt and brine on the road, they tend to stain and not be as durable as non matte finishes. However, if you are someone who likes to wash and maintain your vehicle in the winter it may not matter then go with whatever you want. I would recommend ceramic coating the wheels first including the matte black if that is what you decide. It may add a slight sheen ( they do have ceramic coating for matte as well) but they will be easier to keep clean and from from potential staining. I had 3 piece custom made 22" summer wheels with gloss gunmetal lips, black gloss inner barrel and matte black spoke centers. The matte black centers looked awesome but where a nightmare to clean, stained easily even from using the wrong soap. I tend to be OCD with washing and detailing. Fixed it by ceramic coating, added a slight sheen so they went from matte to slight satin.

So go with your gut and what you feel meets your needs and taste. You may have to compromise a bit, but in the end you need to be happy.
