I like the Hypersilver finishes because they create a sense/perception of depth.

I agree completly, i also think they make the wheels look a little bigger.
I intend getting my wheels painted to a hypersilver finish too, whats the best paint/process to get the perfect color.
Does the tire pressure mointor sensor cause any issues during the painting?
