Should I leave it semigloss or do it full gloss?

Hard to see the color on the body, the engine bay shots are more accurate.

Depends on the wheels. Bright silver or polished wheels? go with gloss. Dark wheels or natural as-cast finish wheels would look cool semi-gloss, in sort of an all-business, hardcore performance way.

But my vote is high gloss, so it's not mistaken for primer.

Was going to say Gloss until I saw the wheels. Semi-gloss could be cool with the gloss wheels, but I'd be worried about getting tired of it.

Agree.
I'd roll one or two of those wheels under the car, stand back, take a look, drink a beer, take a longer look, get some opinions, take a few pictures, argue with people on the internet about their opinions, and then probably leave it semi-gloss.
 
I get his dilema. Its always when your doing something and it looks good before you finish and gets you wondering. Should I leave it? Finish it? But it looks cool now! Arrrgh. I painted an engine bay gray before putting the color on and wanted to leave it since it looked cool, like a racecar, lol.
Those wheels would look good with a semi gloss paint job though.
