Enkei Raijin: Hyper Silver or Gunmetal?
2007 ASM UA7

What do you guys think? I'm torn.

Same style of wheel, haven't seen any other pics of a Gunmetal finish.

Thanks

Broken links, sorry.
Gunmetal (Left) Hyper Silver (Right)

Hmm after seeing a side by side comparison of these rims, I like the Hyper Silver better. The Gunmetal color in this rim looks too flat. If this Gunmetal color had some more shine to it, I may have liked them more.

I think hyper silver just looks classy. The gunmetal would stand out more, (I'm assuming your car is silver).

Gunmetal, especially since you have ASM. Damn, this is a sexy looking wheel. If they made it in 17 it would be lighter and I would be all over it!

Both will look good. Give it time-it will come to you as which one to get.

Its a coin toss between the two.
You can't go wrong with either option.

I would go with Gunmetal based on you car's color.
