these are the actual rims i was leaning towards but all the hyperblack rim pics i see the rims look like they have a different finish!!the ones i want off ebay look like they are a dull chrome but on the blue cl they look kinda gun metal.on the black they look dark grey
what color is hyperblack actually? does it shine?if anyone is up to it they can photochop those on my car.(doesn't have to be professional just to get an idea it would be greatly appreciated)

I'm pretty sure that's all it is, it's like a black version of gunmetal has a black hue to it

i've had 2 prokits and i'm not impressed(on a saturn sl and my ack cl). yes the ride is decent but the drop is not enough.grandma's with groceries in the car are lower than me.i had ebay coils on my teg (dropped 3 in) paid $40 shipped (no name brand)and the ride wasn't as bad as i expected. y? there is no true definiton of a good ride when it comes to suspension .that is solely based on the preference of the driver.sometimes i like a bouncy ride over a stiff one and vice versa it all depends.

I used to have hyperblack wheels on mine. It was a mistake for me, personally, because I wanted the gunmetal look, and bought these without doing enough research. However, at times, I did like the hyperblack finish. If youre going for a shiny light grey, then these are your best bet. At times, when the sun hit the wheels right (when they were clean), it almost seemed like I had chrome wheels. But then at the same time, if theyre in shadows, sunset, etc...they have a light gunmetal color to them. So you kinda get the best of both worlds. Anyway, heres some pics of mine on a sunny day... As you can see, from different angles, you get different shades of the hyperblack...








They just weren't dark enough for ME, though. Which is why I'm getting black/polished lip wheels for this year. Just waiting for the damn site to get them back in stock

I have the konig trouble's in gunmetal, they turned out looking better than i expected with the silver finish outline. Haven't had any probs with them yet. The gunmetal on a dark car looks great in my opinion. I like the look of the white CL on the first pic.
