They are both silver really, one (HB) is just a little more blingy than the other. HB Alufelgens almost have a chromed wheel look. I am running HB on AW, love them.

so, i have my order in for sf-71 hyperblack wheels, but now im thinking of switching to silver since it's more of a classy look. reason i picked hyperblack is because from the pics it looks like a darker shade of silver from certain angles In person, does it look like a chrome effect? i definitely DO NOT want chrome looking wheels.

The hyperblack does have a slightly chrome-like effect but only under certain lighting conditions. The best way to describe it is that it's the same color as the brake rotors with a little bit of gloss.

there seems to be a 50/50 preference of HB vs silver on a JB sedan. mods i have are tints, euro fronts, blacklines, CF silver/black emblems all around, matt black grille. prob going to replace chrome window trim with matt black as well. Just looking for a nice flush classy, but agressive look.

How does the HB wheels look at night under street lights, etc? does it stand out, or do the wheels hide in the shadows (if that makes sense)

As the Premier West Coast Distributor for Alufelgen wheels I can most definitely help you out with the color choice. My vote would be Hyper Black on a Jet Black car to give it that more aggressive look especially if you have other black or dark accents on the car! Here are a few more shots of the Hyper Black wheel in various BMWs for you to check out.
