You can not say that either chrome, hyperblack or silver is better looking. That is so personal. It depends on what you want with wheels to express. And furtherfore it depends on where on the planet you drive. The truth is flexible 
What I?ve found out is something like this:
Chrome is always "pimpier" on a regular car. Nearly accepted on a big SUV or truck. If you want to stand out from the crowd. Isn?t often accepted on high premium cars. (Like BMW
)
Hyperblack is the choise if you don?t dare to put on chromed and silver is to ordinary. Can often make the car look more agressive and cool.
Silver is for those who want the wheels to speak for them self. Clean and nice.
Black is the choise if you want to be extra cool but this setup also makes the wheels "disappear" when you drive. Doesn?t stand out.
Am I right

is hyperblack like black chrome?.. requested black chromeon my rims and the company had a hell of a time doing it... it turned out good a littler lighter than i wanted but to everyone who has seen it they say it looks great..almost a dark pewter color...the company vowed they would never do this combo again cuz ofthe difficulty...so im lucky to have this..
the hyperblack/black chrome would stand out more on darkercolors whereas to lighter colors would look too dark...just what ive noticed...good luck.... go for it...the rimms look good...ericd

I've seen the CSL style wheels in hyperblack and much prefer the silver version. There are a lot of wheels with this basic mesh design so you don't have to spend $8K on neez for a high quality version of these wheels.

BTW, RAC monolites which are quite comparable to Neez also have a wheel in this design. They'll pretty pricey though, but I doubt they're $8K.

I think $8K for the Neez includes tires because Eisenhaus has a special for 4 Neez wheels (20s) with their Meisterschaft exhaust for around $8500 for the M5. So I think the wheels alone are about $6K. Not sure if that makes the situation any better...haha
