Default Rim Color Difference

I've found rims I like, however, they offer two different colors but I can't tell which is darker. Wheel shops around me don't offer Exels so I'm forced to get them offline. The wheel I want would be the darker of the two, but from Gun Metal wheels I've seen they're sorta dark, but I've never come across Hyper Black.

Which ooone would look better with a silver car in your guys' opinions? Have to pick one of the two!

Gun Metal - Exel TZ-10


Hyper Black - Exel TZ-10

Ahhh the TZ-10s, seems to be a popular choice for the xD crowd. From what I an tell the Gunmetal is a nice Dark Grey with very little shine and the Hyperblack looks like a polished Dark Grey/Black.

We have a Black xD with Silver ones and a Blue xD with White ones....I think the Gunmetal would look nice against the Silver. Tis just my opinion tho.

Hehe I know, the blue xD with the white TZ-10s really sparked my interest for the rims. I like rims with more spokes than 5 but no more than 10 or done tastefully at least. Really wish I could see them in a shop nearby.

Hyper Black is similar to taking spray tint over a polished wheel. The color is actually transparent. Kinda like a candy paint. The Gunmetal is a standard paint and will be darker.

Consider the Tenzo R Mach 10. This is a flat black wheel similar to these and has a nice red stripe around the rim. Those are my choice.

I've seen a Konig Deadline wheel thats like that Tenzo though I'm not sure if I want to do red because I'd feel like I would have to have red somewhere else on/in the car. It would be nice if I could find those Tenzo's with a silver (matte) edge instead.

[edit] I haven't seen these for sale anywhere. Any idea where to find them and a price?

Also thanks for explaining the difference between the two different colors
