hyper black rims

i saw a nice set of rims yesterday and the fellow who works there told me they were "hyper black" in color. they weren't that black at all but was only like a shade or two darker than silver.

does anyone here know if hyper-black is supposed to be that light in color or did the sales guy get his color wrong and meant to say hyper-grey or hyper silver?

hyper black looks like a dark chrome colour. Hyper black is shiny like chrome, but dark at the same time.

Gunmetal is not shiny, and it looks like a very very dark grey colour.

I think hyper black is akin to SBC (special black coating). This seems to be a new style, and I think it's pretty hot, myself.

my wheels are in hyper black color as well and it looks amazing in the sun ... it's a like a dark chrome but looks classy at the same time ... hyper black and polish lip is the best combination

its ok... sorta too plain for my taste. btw, the rims are 5 bolt, so it won't fit on a your civic.
