Just curios if the hyper silver mimics the appearance of the polished look offered on the ccw wheels?

I have the black Scorpions in C5Z06 fitment. They look great but weigh enough to sink a medium-sized boat.

The polished look on CCWs are close to a chrome like finish - I've seen the polished CCWs and they are very shiny. The hyper silver finish on Crays looks great, but it will definitely not have the shine of polished CCWs. Now if you get the hyper silver wheels with the mirror lip, that's a very nice combo.

You can buy the scorpion hyper silver with machine lip for about 350. The chrome are 450.
And the ccw for 750. Just wonder if the ccws are worth the extra money?
