What is the difference between hyper-silver and hyper-black? The descriptions are the same:

"The finishing process begins with a black powder coat foundation. This is followed by a translucent silver which allows the black foundation to become visible through the silver, producing the color hyper black. The final stage consists of two layers of clear coat."

"The finishing process begins with a black powder coat foundation. This is followed by a translucent silver which allows the black foundation to become visible through the silver, producing the color hyper silver. The final stage consists of two layers of clear coat. "

It was a typo. He meant to say Hyper Silver.

^^^
The first description was of a hyper black wheel. The second description was of a hyper silver wheel. Maybe the hyper silver has more silver sprayed on it so less of the black shows through?

I think the Hyper Black is darker than the Hyper Silver. I should email them.

EDIT: They do not offer the wheels in Hyper Silver. Only Hyper Black
