Hyper Black

I will be getting rims soon and i just wanted to know the difference between Hyper Black and Gunmetal. I searched, and from what i found, Hyper Black is just a darker silver type color. I want a look that is as close to the member Spanky's as i can get with these rims. They have both Hyper Black and Gunmetal. Which would come closest to Spanky's look.

Hyper Black -

Gunmetal -


Spanky's Car -

From the pictures of the rims, it looks like the Hyper Black is almost the color i want. Is it just the lighting that makes it appear this way? The pics make it look like the gunmetal is dull, and i want the shiny look while still being black. Does anyone have pics of Hyperblack rims on cars in different lighting?

Thanks for any help, and sorry for the long post.

No, sorry if i wasn't clear. I wanted to know if anyone could tell me whether the color "HYper Black" would look as it does in the picture of the rim I posted, or if it was just the lighting that made it look that way. I also wanted to know if i should go with hyper black or gunmetal to come closest to the color of spanky's rims.

Well i've always thought that Hyper Black was like silver with a little black tint. But in the Picture of those rims, the hyper black color looks like it's more of a polished black color (and that's the color i want). Is this just becuase of the lighting they used?

I think the rims on the Civic are gloss black, not hyper black. Hyper black looks like a dark shiny silver, it's definately not black black.
