Chrome, Hyper Black, or Glossy Black?
I've got a 2-tone gray 95 LS (light gray on top, and darker gray at the bottom). I am trying to decide which color rims would look best on it. I know CHROME is almost always going to be the way to go, but would hyper black or glossy black work as well? Any pics of this color car with either black wheel would be appreciated...
No option right now to paint the car a solid color...in the process of reconditioning my Supra...

I give a vote for brushed alum,.. depends on how flashy your tastes are. If you want some bling, go with the glossy black. Chrome is always a safe bet, but overdone 
-- But alot of people don't care to be unique .. -- You can always get your wheels and photoshop them on your car.
Post the wheel images and a side pic of your car in the photoshop area of the forums, someone there will have your shots up in no time.

Yeah, my goal is to give the car a performance appeal while still maintaining the luxury look. Don't want it to be flashy...
I did see one that is the same color as mines with hyper black wheels. Looked very good to me. It's attached...not sure whose it is...but I like it!!

That is nothing like the mental image the words "hyper black" give me, but then again, I'm an old fart, so "hyper black" reads as a marketing ploy or 2Fast slang.
Black would look good on that car. IMO, the problem is that you'll have to (want to) do the rest of your trim (emblems and perhaps trim) in black as well, which is an undertaking.
Why don't you do as Neo says and head over to Tire Rack and check out the looks you're considering? Quite honestly, if you're looking for confirmation about your decision, then perhaps you should keep looking, since you'll know "the look" you're going to love, and anyone else's opinion will be inconsequential.
It's a car, not a polo shirt. You're about to spend hundreds of dollars to "mod" it. Make sure YOU like it before you drop all that cash.

Yeah, probably will go the "Neo" route with this car. I have modded numerous cars in the past (wheels and other customizing accents), but never a two-tone. Thanks for the input.
