The silver looks almost shiny in the picture and I was looking forward to that too. As soon as I received them I noticed that they are actually a regular matte grey, just like matte grey. Black is not as noticeable as in the picture. It's definitely the same wheel cover, only the picture made it look nicer. Other than that, it looks pretty cool on my 2006 Chevy Cobalt. I spray-painted my old rusty hubcaps on the underside to make them look new again, so it didn't feel like a waste to wear these
