FD - What size are those? And does Hyperblack ever actually look black? I don't think I've ever seen a hyperblack wheel (all in pictures) looking actually black. Looks good though.

Nevermind: I don't read. It's in your signature. Thanks!

To answer your second question....No, the wheels never do look black. They are really more of a darkened silver/gray at times, and under bright light they are shiny silver. I tried to post pictures of how they look under different lighting conditions.

I know that they weren't black as requested but posted only because i actually have the Torque. It seems like quite a few people have the Rota Subzero's though.

Duh. It just occured to me that a friend of mine has 18" Torques in flat black on his WRX. I'll see if I can get a picture for you.

As for the SubZeros... me likey. Especially the gunmetal with a polished lip. Mmmm.

Edit: Friend will dig up some pics but he sent some links. Apologies for the Subie content. Both of these are flat black 18s, I believe.

Thanks for the pics. I wonder why hyperblack isnt called hypoblack?
I really like the look of the flat blacks, they look pretty cool on the wrex also.

Or hyper-shiny-dark-silver since its not really black. Those Rex's do look good. It helps that those are 18s, too. Looks great, rides a bit rough, I imagine.
