Default What Exactly Is "Hyper Black"?

I want to purchase some 19" rims w/ a lip (staggered set) that closely matches my OEM Dark Graphite ones so I won't have to paint my grill (to match) but can't seem to find any in that color. "Hyper Black" looks as though it is a close match, but all the different manufacturers that have that color all look different and it is hard to tell in a picture rather than seeing it up close in person. My 2nd option would be to purchase "Gloss Black" and just paint my grill to match I guess.

Does anyone know of a color that is similiar to Lexus OEM "Dark Graphite" or is Hyper Black the way to go? Thanks in advance.

BTW: I would've posted this in the Tires/Wheels Forum, but I figured I would get more replies here since no one has posted there for two days.

That looks like a blue 2IS to me.

It depends on the look. But I want 19", with a lip......nothing corny or tacky looking.

Gunmetal? Gunmetal would be close to the OEM Graphite finish.

Once you find your brand of wheels try searching there are a couple of threads with wheel manufacturers which i am sure will have all different types of finishes.
