Hyper Black is a Gloss Black and I believe the Standard Black is a Flat Black. I have Hyper Black...

I'd go shiney, but then again I'm not a hugh fan of black wheels. On a white car I'd go with a brushed aluminum center chrome lips. Of course just a opinion....

Polished lip......For your white tt, your choices are many. What do you like? That is the best thing to start with.......

Chrome will be much easier, but delamination (peeling/cracking) might be a short-long term issue and once you damage the wheel it will need to be replaced or fixed and re-chromed.

BTW, Hyperblack is a flat black powdercoat. The STD black is glossy black paint.
