nKoan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've got some 17x8 hyperblack torques, but they are still in boxes, unmounted and my sedan is GRP. So, I guess I'm no help (but slightly more help than the rest of the forum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devobuzz Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Ok - take them out of the box and prop them up against the side of your existing wheels that are on the car and take a pic! HA! We're desperate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 yeah yeah dooo iiiit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Hah, well I doubt I'd get any worthwhile pictures like that. I should be mounting them up pretty soon, just waiting for the weather to warm up a little here in Reno. But, in the meantime, here are some pics of my friends Outback with them on (before he sold them to me). Dunno if that helps or not. http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/carshoots/hoopty_torques/IMG_1134.JPG http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/carshoots/hoopty_torques/IMG_1128.JPG http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/carshoots/hoopty_torques/IMG_1126.JPG http://www.hooptywagon.com/img/carshoots/hoopty_torques/IMG_1139.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devobuzz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks! Do you know if those are hyper silver and what size wheels/tires they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Those are hyperblack 17x8. Tires (I think) were 225/45/17. Hyperblack is a very interesting finish. They don't look as silvery in person and definitely much darker. Its really hard to explain, because they do have a silvery sheen over them that normal gunmetal/anthracite/whatever doesn't have.

devobuzz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Yeh that's what's confusing me - I don't know what color I want. Hyper black, silver, hyper silver, gunmetal or steel gray!? Every time I look at them I see different colors. I'm SO confused and the pics on the wheeldude.com website aren't helping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I guess the easiest way to describe it, is that there are two coats. The base coat is a dark gunmetal/anthracite color. Then there is a very high gloss coat that reflects light a lot. Hyper black looks very different in different lights. Personally, I really like the effect and my main set of wheels has a similar finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devobuzz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm thinking of going with hyper silver. Would that be the same deal - silver base coat with reflective top coat? How different would that look? Like chrome or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Kind of, but it doesn't have the same brilliance as chrome. It also differs between manufacturer a bit. I have some AME wheels in Hyper Silver and the base color looks a bit darker than the Rota Hyper Silver, and the Rota Hyper Silver top coat doesn't seem quite as reflective.

devobuzz Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I ordered some Torques in Hyper Silver 17x8 for my ABP LGT. I'll take pics once they're on. Still not exactly what you were looking for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nKoan Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 if I find time in the next few weeks (can't promise that) I'll be trying to get my Hoosiers mounted on my hyperblack torques before the first autox of the Reno season. Like I said though, its GRP. Hopefully I could have some pics for you by April 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tor Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Here is a BSM wagon with Tarmac 3 in Gun metal. I know they are not the exact combo you are looking for, but it is a reference for you. (Sorry for the bad pics...camera phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
