Question on the difference in color between Hypersilver and Hyperblack.

DrGP · 06-02-2007, 01:09 PM

I am very intersted in the VM 715 wheels. Pictures that have beeen previously posted show a hyperblack that looks somewhat like crome (I know it isn't) . I have also read that "hypersilver" actually look darker like gunmetal or titanium. What I am looking for is somethiing that that does NOT look dark or gunmetal. What finish should I be looking to buy? Hyper Silver? Second question. What is the difference between a stainless lip and a polished lip? Is it the amount of shine or the actual composition of the lip? Can't wait to see pictures of this wheel on actual cars.

Hyper silver is just silver, basically.

Hyper black is a in between of black and gunmetal.

Stainless lip and polished lip are basically the same thing, just depends on who you are talking to and what the manufacturer likes to use for their wheels. Both will have that "polished" mirror look.
