VMR are already very cheap compared to other.
I would be very wary going to even cheaper wheels

both colors will look good. gunmetal would probably show less dirt and brake dust though.

VMR's would be the best bang for your buck. They are one of the few companies that make a high enough offset to fit the 1 series platform. VMR has been around for a long time and they have a huge BMW fan base.

I think gunmetal would look great with your black 1 series.
