Hyper Silver and Hyper Black

Well UPS showed up today to my surprise. He dropped off a Hyper Black and Hyper Silver wheel. Hyper silver is two different coats of silver with a clear over it, while Hyper Black is a Black base coat with the silver misted on top. It seems they keep spraying the Hyper Black coatings too thick so beside the barrel color, it's only about 90% different. Because of this Hyper Black will no longer be a guaranteed option.  With 10 people it can still be had.

I was forced to take indoor photographs due to rain. Please note that Motorsport Silver looks very odd in this light with a flash.

Lee's Massive BBK fitment Images

I've done a test fitment on the 17x8" et20 APEX ARC-8 with one of Lee's Massive BBK templates. The testing was done with his largest 332mm x 32mm Kit using a 6 piston SL6R radial Wilwood caliper. There is about 6mm of clearance at the tighest point. From there the spokes angle outward leaving a lot of room. You can also see the metal removal around the lug area to save weight as discussed previously.

PURCHASING INFORMATION

Hyper Silver and Hyper Black on the way

A Hyper Silver and Hyper Black is officially on the way. I was hoping for a greater difference between the two colors, but from the initial photos they sent me prior to shipping them out, they look very similar. It was worth testing though. Samples in the mail are 17x8.5 and 17x8 et38 (original size wheel was made in)

Test Fitment

The wheels have been mounted onto an E30 M3 and fit perfectly with excellent BBK clearance. A 17x8 et20 wheel was mounted along with a 17x8.5 et40 wheel +15mm spacer. Both had excellent caliper clearance.

Physical Samples Arrived

All three wheel sizes arrived today. All in the motorsport finish. The color ended up being a 100% color match, and looks great. It will now be an official color option.

The wheels look great, and I snapped a few photos along with measuring their weights. Better product photography and information will be posted tomorrow so stay tuned as that update will include payment information!

Wheel weights are as follows:

17x8" et20: 16.95lbs

17x8.5" et40: 16.44lbs

17x9" et42: 16.60lbs

Hyper Silver, Hyper Black

The factory is rush shipping me a sample of hyper black and hyper silver, I should have all samle wheels early next week.

Sample wheels are on their way

I just checked my email to find that the 3 samples are on their way via DHL. Only problem is they are all coming in the motorsport silver. I've asked them what I can do to get two more samples (one in Hyper Silver, one in Hyper Black).
