they are out there, i've seen them, don't know why a search for "black" and "fuchs" is not giving you anything...

Stock, their not that shiney. I'd say their simi gloss and it's a hardy finish.
A tru flat black finish IMO will not hold up well. It will be harder to clean, cratch easily and won't wear well.
But if you want that look, it would be easy enough to respray or just let it go.
These are stock original finish, cir. 1986

you're right, most are glossy. I just got a pair for the rear that are black but shiny... If I'm lazy, I'll just let the brake dust give them the anti-glare finish

If I figure out a simple (read: easy) way of priming the black (it's a quite tough and durable finish) then I'll spray 'em w/ something less reflective too

i guess flat FLAT black was not the correct discription, in that flat black has a rough finish. i am going to go with a semi-gloss spray. not the house paint semi but a can semi.
