I think it really depends on the manufacturer.

Hyper black is gloss black with a semi translucent film of silver over the black so it endfs up looking like a nice slightly darker than silver kind of paint where the black still shows thru the deep valley's of the wheels. Here's an example:






But it still doesn't look like chrome which is 100% REFLECTIVE, MORE LIKE A MIRROR THAN A PAINT (SORRY, CAPSLOCK).

Yes, like what Ron said, hyperblack is more of a black/silver-ish kind of look. Like a really nice looking gunmetal or light dark chrome (if you are like me and have the RP03's in mind).

Gloss black is just that. Shiny shiny black.
