Default who likes "Hyper Black" finish on wheels?

My new wheels are "Hyper Black" opal finish. I haven't seen this type of finish in person only in photos....

these are not the wheels I'm getting but they show the difference between hyperblack and silver

HYPERBLACK



SILVER

It's not that I don't like it, but I'd not put it on MY car.

I like it A LOT better than the regular silver. It's not a flat color--looks sweet!

This to me does not look like gunmetal at all. Gunmetal, like a gun, is a darkish gray color, not a chromeish finish like this.

I think this looks pretty nice. I'd have to see it in person, to make sure it wasn't too flash like chrome, but the pic looks good.

hyperblack varies among manufacturers. the hyperblack examples I have shown are 5Zigen.

Between manufacturers the shades may vary.... the pic of my rims is in fact silver... I posted the pic to show the wheel style.

Well, either way, I like the finish of this wheel....be it HS or HB!

i too got a set hyperblack 19s for my ss350z. thought the hyperblack would look different and more unique than all the silver rims out there. i just hope that it doesn't get played out. but the rims look nice on the car. especially dark colored cars.
