At least you can polish out any blemishes on high polished, which you can't do with chrome. I just don't understand why anyone would get chrome since it's heavier and can't be fixed if damaged.

Uhhhh, I just went out to buy some fries from Wendy's and saw a two-tone (blue/white) Lexus IS with chrome rims, I think that changed my mind. What's a high polish? Is that the same as silver finish?

I have a silver sedan and I'm getting the hyper black.

When VMR finishes the test fitment and gives us the ok later this week, they'll need a 50% deposit to begin production. Each finish requires a minimum of 7 buyers. So if your certain that you want to be apart of this group buy for custom hyper black wheels, you'll be the 7th person that is needed to complete this hyper black group buy

Look at the pictures of the hyperblack finish on the 1st page - they already look similar. For the silvers out there, the contrasting center and polished lip should look killer (like the look on the C55 above).

Those are nice but... they don't really say ///AMG on them. It says something like ///AMC or something like that that looks like AMG. The pics aren't that close or clear for you to really tell but i have seen them in person before and they surely do not say AMG.

No, it's closer to chrome finish depending on how good they are polished. The good thing is that you can always polish them up yourself at any time to get that shine. Chrome is just an extra plating added to the wheel that adds extra weight and cannot be fixed if your significant other happens to curb them.
