NEED HELP- Wheel On Order

need to know asap so i can change the order if need to...
are hyperblack more "greyish" than gunmetals? which is more black? i don't want "dark" wheels, and i dunno, all the pics are somewhat confusing.

i ordered arospeed rs-gt's in silver at first, but several sites had the hyperblacks on their rides and looked sweet, so i ordered that instead. but then i look on here and see a set of gunmetals on a silverp5 and that looks like the hyperblack color...

wtf????

please help! i don't wanna be stuck with wheels that i won't like!

Different companies have different versions of hyper black and gunmetal. You'd be best to see the ACTUAL wheel you ordered in a picture and compare that way.

Normally I'd say that hyperblack looks darker but it's also shinier.

^^^ dammit, not what i wanted to hear. i don't want darker wheels. from the pics on arospeed's site, the gunmetals are darker.
but u say companies versions vary? i hope arospeed's hyperblack is lighter...

I took a look and it seems like the gunmetal is darker. Either way though dude, the hyper black is going to be more reflective, thus making it look brighter. Their hyper black looks a lot more like a lighter charcoal color.

What size wheel and what offset did you order?? I do like the aesthetics of the RSGT.
