The standard black reminds me of those cars that drive around with a hubcap missing. Go hyper.

Hyperblack looks good. Glossy black seems a bit cheap looking to me.

well I have hyper (flat) black and I like it. I really dont care for gloss black at all, looks too common and flashy, and really dull when its dirty. With flat black you can see all the sharp details of the wheel, with gloss its just all shinny and glossy. I dunno, but in my opinion gloss is lame and played the hell out. Heres a few pics of my hyper black iForged Essens with chrome lips, they're 20''s

both are very nice, but glossy will always be in style, where as flat black, is more of a trend IMO

thismight sounds a bit stupid but in the UK i was told that 2-3 pc wheels arent recommended as they will corrode and rust (bolts) especially if they are highly poilished. as u can imagine we have days on end where it rains like crazy and the wheels can be wet for days to weeks with the level of moisture in the air and salt on our roads. so guys in your opinion is what do you think, is it down to the quality of materials used in the rim construction? i dont want to fork out £4000.00 for wheels which wud look unshiny and shitty after a few months. Is there warranty on rims?
