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???

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.

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!
