Time to refurbish wheels, Hyper Silver too much? Pics

I need to refurb my wheels. I was going to go with a color matching silver but came across "Hyper" silver. I prefer an OEM look but cant decide if this hyper silver adds a little pop or little gotti.

Style 189 wheel in original finish




Examples of Hyper Silver

I like the color in general but that style wheel might have just too much surface area

I have hyper silver 193m's on my car and wish they were just silver, the oem silver color is super easy to match and fix if you have any damage, the hyper silver not so much!

Ya I think you guys are right. Silver looks cleaner and good point on future color matching.

Hyper silver looks good. I would go for it. I was going to paint my 189s gunmetal before I ended up selling them.

Hyper silver and fits really well the car.
Got also the same model as winter tires in gunmetal, nice but not as much as hyper silver. Side to side OEM are crap...

Okay you're talking about damage but since I'm a perfect driver, the color is still kick ass, right? Do you have pics??
