We currently do not offer Hyper Black as a finish option for our new ARC-8R wheels. However, we are a community-driven company, and if we receive enough demand for a Hyper Black finish, it is something we will consider.
With our new forged wheels, we have introduced two new finishes, Brushed Clear and Polished, which have been received very well. I would suggest checking those out if you are interested in something more unique.

edit: looking at the OP with the size list, it states on the bottom in fine print "** these sizes will be available for pre-order in Q4"

Great question. The original plan was to open pre-orders for our 19” forged wheels in Q4 2019. This date is being delayed. We may have to push it out as far as Q2 2020 in order to provide wheels that meet our standards. It could be sooner, but we’re being conservative until we reach a milestone that allows us to pick a more specific date.
Many wheels offered by other manufacturers use readily available blanks instead of their own proprietary designs. The existing blanks offered do not match the brake clearance of our flow formed wheels. Our flow formed wheels have custom profiles and we have to create our own forging dies to again deliver a wheel that features everything we want. Creating a new forging die that will work for the various future designs and fitments we plan to release is taking a bit longer than expected.
Throughout the company’s history, we have always prioritized quality and functionality over reduced cost and speed to market. Rather than compromising to meet a deadline, we will push them out a little more. We could have made wheels with similar features to the competition long ago. We didn’t want to just be another spoke design. We know many of you are eager for our new 19” forged wheels, and we will continue to update the community as progress is made.
