duplicolor dont got such wide selection. All i want is something deeper than the rim silver, maybe something between silver and gunmetal. Nothing too dark though

stock silver is just...painted silver, only looks nice on stock rims and hyper silver is much shinier and brighter, reflects sunlight very well. If keeps clean, almost look like brush aluminum. For black car, if I have to chose between the 2, I'll go with hyper silver.

a darker shade of primer will make the silver darker to your liking. I painted mine with Dupli Color gunmetal (graphite) and it looks nice, not too dark and not too light. Used to paint it black but the Mrs. was giving me a hard time about the black out look.

Hyper silver looks almost like a machined aluminum color.

The CSL M wheel (top pic) is hypersilver ... the stock 123 style (bottom pic) is "silver" ...
