Definition of hyper black

[NissanAltimaGuy]

I've been look a lot at rims lately and was wondering exactly what color hyper black is. One of the rims is the Axis Matrix:



And judging by the example photos they have, it just looks silver.

Another manufacturer, TSW's Thruxton, looks more of a dark grey:



Is the definition of hyper black just going to vary between manufacturers?

Its just a chrome/shiny version of a gray color.

HyperBlack finishes range from silver to charcoal or gunmetal grey. I've never seen a Hyper Black finish that appeared to be black. My wheels by the way are Hyperblack.

Hey Cali, what kind of wheels are those?

Someone just put the Thruxtons on an AC here recently.

My rims areTSW Catalunya - I would say these are on the darker side of the grey spectrum. My car is a champaigne color with a silver irredescence - so these wheels (and I would say hyperblack in general) complement or subtley contrast real nice like!



I looked at the Axis Penta as well in hyperblack - Axis hyperblack seemed a little lighter than TSW's. What color are you looking for - more silver or more grey/gunmetal/charcoal. So I agree the finish will vary from company to company. The good thing is that it is hard to mess up a grey or silver finish/color on a wheel.

If you are particular try to see if you can spot any differences between companies - expecially if you have a local rim shop.
