Although I probably should have done a matte finish since my wheels are matte, the Toyota badge on the front of my Tacoma is glossy so they still look nice. I didn't actually try to take them off, I just put them on after losing two airplane rubber earplugs. They are very attractive and feel solid. To be honest the only downside in my opinion at the moment is that they come in a case that needs cutting rather than zipping, they are very attractive and feel solid. To be honest the only downside I think right now is that they come in a pouch that needs to be cut rather than a resealable pouch as it seems you don't use all eight at once. Haha
