Gunmental almost looks green sometimes so I'd go with Hyperblack.

Well, I just spent 5 minutes doing a google search. Based on what I saw, they are 2 names for the same color, they each vary by manufacturer and by model. Shade and shine vary from charcoal to a smoke grey/silver.

google is your friend.

i'd just buy the rims in whatever color you can get them cheatest for....then have em sandblasted and repainted in the color of your choice.

here are a couple pics of my rims. they are called hyper black. in certain lighting, they are darker. like, in the bright sun, they can look sorta silverish. on a cloudy day, or at night, they look black. i like them a lot actually... hyper black generally is more expensive than gun metal. so, if price is what you're goin for, get the cheaper. but...just so you know, i like my hyper black ones compared to any gun metal rim

^ correct. Hyper Black is a misleading name for the rim finish

Going from these pics I would get the Gunmetal. They look much darker to me.

like i said...it depends on how you look at it.

w/ direct light on the rim, it's a silvery type rim. at night time, they look black

just remember...hyper black also means black chrome to other rim makers
