Hyper Black

What the heck is Hyper Black, it looks silver to me on every wheel I've seen online. Can anyone clarify?

Thanks, have had it for sometime but never enabled it. It was designed around my WarpSpeed series.

It isn't just a dark silver.. a dark silver would be.. I dunno, kinda like gunmetal.

Hyperblack is black but with a glossy metallic look. -- kinda like this black chrome coating picture:


Depending on the lighting, it can look black, ir can look like mercury, or it can be in between

It's actually a lot like black chrome, if you've seen that. Yeah it's chrome, but with a black base in there somewhere

I'll let the pictures do the talking:
see how it changes in the light?




and with flash:

Too chromey for me. I'd go with a metallic black or matte black if I was painting something black.

Yeah I most likely end up with a silver wheel or close to it. Everyones doing the gunmetal or different shades of blacks. Since my color is so bright, I think the silver would be more appropriate as to not make the wheels the main focus and more complimentary.

I've wanted these for awhile and I keep going back . It will be this style but color is up in the air right now.

I have a dark color, and silver rims. I think it looks sharp and contrast-y. Like you said, everyone is doing chrome or gunmetal. I think dark rims look good on white or silver cars (Kansei's for instance).
