Default Hyper black or Hyper silver Help!

Guys, a buddy of mine just picked up a new Monterey Red Metallic C6 (awesome car). He does not like the stock wheels and wanted a set of C6 Z06 replicas. He does not like the chrome look that I have on mine and wanted something more subtle. He wants wheels that look like the below picture but does not want the wheels that look grey. We are both confused as to whether the term for the color he wants is Hyper Silver or Hyper Black. What would you guys call the finish on the picture below? I have also incuded a pic of his car.

it seems like someone on here just got a set of those and they called them black chrome. but they definately would be some type of hyper black or something, not hyper silver.

sweet C6 BTW, those wheels will look sweet on it!

Well since we got 2 replies with 2 different answers I put a poll up. If you don't think the pictured wheel is either please explain what color you think it is. My buddy is ready to order but wants to be sure he gets the wheel that is pictured above. Thanks guys!

hyper black and other hyper colors AFAIK referred to the color being flat rather than gloss

Well, my buddy went with the color that looked more grey than the above pictured wheels. He got them from TomZ and really wanted the ones pictured above which Tom was calling Hyper Silver. When my buddy's wheels arrived they looked grey. TomZ has been great and was willing to get him the color pictured above and pay for shipping both ways. After looking at them in the light he decided he liked the greyish color as much as the above pictured wheels.

Today I picked up the wheels with my truck and we took them over to be installed. He only got a couple of pictures as we were rushed. Not the best pictures but the weather was threatening and he promised I could drive it so I made him rush. Hell of a car. Told him it needs a short throw shifter though.





Again TomZWheels came through and they were willing to do whatever it took to make my buddy happy with his wheels. When I left him he was very happy.

I've never seen a wheel look so different depending on what light it is in. They look more grey from those pictures but look much better in direct sunlight. When they were being mounted they looked almost blue. Crazy color if you ask me.

if not and it is the same dark polish through out then hyper silver
