A friend of mine is hooking me up with a set of 5 Zigen Fireballs. Only thing is, I'm not too sure of what finish to get. Full EffectGT has a set of bronze ones. I was thinking Hyper Black, but I'm not too sure how dark they are. Any pics or opinions are appreciated:).

I like the silver ones a lot, especially on blue cars. Nice choice btw, I think those are the best looking of 6 spoke rims

Those are the rims I am really considering getting. Can anyone post some pics of the hyper black ones? I would like to see how dark they really are.

Here are some pics. It's really hard to tell any difference. I've seen some adds where the hyperblack looks very dark and the bronze looks really bronze. In these pics, the difference is very subtle.

In person, the hyper-black looks like a gunmetal with a silvery tinge to it... it's very hard to explain. It's definitely different, it has the nice shade of gunmetal, but the luster you get with a silver finish.

That's what I thought, but an ad in one of the import magazines showed it to be quite dark, maybe alittle too dark for my taste. I want a gunmetal finish, and since it's not available in gm, I may opt for hyperblack.

Here's another pic from a different website. See what I mean. The hyperblack is on the far right. Looks nothing like the one pictured in the Wheelmax site.

Here's a couple pics of the hyper blacks. I still like silver on a blue car though ;) Hope this helps

Thanks, any closeup pics? As far as silver goes, I really like the hyper silver ones:).

I'm going to play it safe and get the Hyper Silver ones. Although I really like the Hyper Black, I'm not too sure how they look in person. Does anyone have 5 Zigen Wheels in Hyper Black? They don't have to be FireBalls, I just wanna see more pics of that finish.
