Anyone know what color these wheels are? Is it a factory finish?

I thought it was anthracite, but it has more of a chrome shine to it? I'm thinking it's black chrome???

is Hyperblack/Gunmetal a factory finish for the M166's?

No. Hyper Silver is the OEM color. You'll have to get them powdercoated. That is a Hyper Black finish in the photos you posted. :cool:

I know the OEM color is hyper silver... what im asking: Do these wheels come in an alternate factory finish as you would see on some of the new E92 M3's. Some of them have anthracite colored wheels.

looks like gloss black to me but it's hard to tell from these pics

Well what do you guys think about this wheel color on my M166s on a black E60?

I found a place that can coat it similar to these. Color is called "Black Fusion".

The color on the Porsche wheel is hot, I would go with that color! :thumbsup:
