Hyperblack VB3 or Hyper Silver?

perrymaxima · 11-16-2009, 07:44 PM

Guys I ordered a set of VMR VB3s from Eric at pyspeed. I originally ordered the Hypersilver but Eric sent me an email today to let me know that one of my wheels came from the vendor damaged and it would be about a month when they get their next shipment. I don't mind waiting but he has the VB3s in Hyperblack in stock. My car is Sparkling Graphite and I want to keep the car looking classy/sporty. Which is why I chose the Hypersilver but I've had a couple folks mention that the VB3s in Hypersilver look too stock like, and I should go with the Hyper Black to make the car stand out. I've looked at pics of hyperblack on blue E90s but haven't seen the color on SG Coupes. What do you guys think? Do you think I should go Hyperblack or Silver?

I personally would go with hyper silver. hyperblack just doesn't have enough contrast with sparkling graphite. I think it gets a bit too monochromatic for my taste. SG tends to be a bit of a chameleon in different sunlight as well, so keep that in mind as the hyperblack and "purple" don't look great together, IMO. Looks like you're going for a classier OEM look anyway.. Just my .02 cents.

I would stick with the hypersilver. Have you checked with other sponsors to see if you can get them sooner?

I already paid for the wheels thru pyspeed and I was able to take advantage of their 5% discount they had going on at the time.

SG = Space Grey
SGM = Sparkling Graphite Metallic

I like the look of Hyperblack on SGM, as long as the lip is polished to "match" your trim.

We actually really liked Matte Black CSLs on our Sparking Graphite E92 M3, it's a really good aggressive look:

Hypersilver is classy/sporty, hyperblack is a more aggressive look that I suggest if you are going to heavily modify the car.

Matte black is pimp on SGM as long as the rest of the car is blacked out... M3 or E92 atleast

Sorry Matte black is just too JDM looking I got rid of my G35 because I was tired of the jdm look I'm going to stick with the Hypersilver it should improve the overall look of the car and help it sell faster when I'm ready to sell the car.

Nice choice, I own a set of hypersilver VB3s and I love them. Was thinking of going hyperblack but I liked the silver more on a tiag better.
