whats the difference between the chrome saleen rims and the hyperblack ones offered from mustangtuning.com?
i want a set asap for a new summer look but i cant see the difference between the two.

what would look better on my car, a black 1995 gts with all the mods listed below.
basically the only exterior mods are the heat extactor hood, no wing, and the projector clear headlights (soon to be replaced not sure if i want the smoked or clear look please help here too!)
i also have black TW valve covers and a black TW Track Heat intake and black Brembos- looks like i have a lot of black, but atleast the interior is black on top and gray on the bottom.

so my goal is to have my rims match my car. i have so much black i do not want to go with any sort of black rims. any other suggestions or pics of black cars with the mentioned rims would be a huge help.
thanks in advance!

naw man, these are the hypercoated (yeah i misspoke)
http://www.mustangtuning.com/saleenwheels.html
and these are the chrome
http://www.mustangtuning.com/chromesaleen1.html
i guess the silver's look good too!
http://www.mustangtuning.com/saleenwheel.html

also, will i be able to get some genuine saleen caps to replace the ones these come with? i should hope they will fit (and not fall out everytime i hit a bump)

does anyone know if its possible to get them custom made in 19in?

The first ones look like gunmetal. The second is chrome, and the third is silver powder coat I think.

Hypercoated to me looks like foil wrap. Chrome=mirror finish.

Hypercoated look great on dark colored cars. Chrome is flashy and some ppl dont like the look, hypercoated you dont have to clean as often and its not as noticable when dirty, also harder to scratch, also cheaper.

man those look nice, i really want the rears in 19's though. can anyone point me in the right direction towards completing this difficult goal?
call me crazy but i think the perfect stance for our cars is with 18's up front 19's outback and i guess im willing to pay for it seeing that im getting knock offs anyways.
btw i called mustangtuning and left them a message about hte 19's but they havnt called me back yet.
thanks again everyone, if you got some pics please post up for me you'd be my best friend!

Hypercoating is painted, polished, and cleared, chrome is polished then dipped. The process is much more involved than this, but that is pretty much what it is.

WHITE94COBRA or anyone else, which of the two (hypercoated and chrome) are easier to clean? From what you say WHITE94COBRA it sounds like the Hypercoated rims should be easier to keep clean.
I am defintatly interested in them over the chrome, I dont want too much bling on the side of my car-it will distract peoples eyes from the rest of the car.

So has anyone had any experience with custom rims, I dont want anything too difficult, just some 18x9's and 19x10's Saleen lookalike rims for my 95's rear.

Chrome is more durable, and very easy to clean, so are the hypercoats. You cant use steel wool on the hypers though.
