Just go with Work Emotion CR Kais

Those are $400+ a wheel. They look great, but I can't spend $1,600 on wheels w/o tires.

Still no good camera, but I will try to get some better pictures up today.

Thank you so much! I've probably googled just about every picture of these wheels in both hyper black and black. I still can't decide on which to go with. The more pictures the better! It'll help me out so much.

What do you think of them so far? I've seen that they poke out a little. Is it very noticable?

Also, how is the black finish? Does it look closer to matte, satin, satin/gloss, painted, gloss?

Any idea on how the M52 Hyper black look in person? To me the hyper black M52's look very silvery compared to other brands' Hyper Black. I can't tell if it's just the pictures online are all in direct sunlight or if they really are that bright.

Also, I'd love to see a side shot from a distance during the day. I'm curious if the spoke spead lets you see through the wheel or if it gives it just an all black look.

I'm strongly considering the M52's because they are a nice change from the RAJIN's that seem to be on every other FRS. I also want hyper black wheels for my Asphalt. I feel gunmetal and black are too dark...I'm not Batman!

Hyper black on the M52 is actually a little darker than most pictures show. Maybe this will help you. Check out these Videos:

Watch at 2:02 to see M52 Hyper Black.

I completely agree with you. I don't want a wheel that every other person already has. I'm torn between Hyper Silver RSF5's or Hyper Black M52's.

I love the design of the RSF5, but I'm afraid the hyper silver isn't going to give me the look I'm going for with my SWP BRZ.

The black M52's were my first choice, but after more research I've realized I prefer the Hyper Black for a SWP BRZ. The M52 has a great design, but now I wish I hadn't have seen the RSF5's so I wouldn't be torn between the two!

The other thing that pushes me away from the RSF5's is that they seem to give the same appearance as the stock wheels from a distance. If the stock wheels didn't have those black spokes, it would pretty much be a split 5 spoke design like the RSF5.

But...damn the RSF5 looks so clean. Reminds me a lot of a Ferrari F430 wheel. Just simple, clean, and classy. First world problems indeed...

Looking at the video's and then an Asphalt color, I think it'll be a great look! You should go for it and post tons of pics afterwards!

did you ever get a chance to take more pictures?? I've already went with another wheel, but I'm still curious on what this car looks like with the M52's.
