These may give you some ideas though these are mostly reds.

With space gray, you may want to consider some kinda orangey-red, almost like the tampa bay buccaneers jersey perhaps from the late 90's and 2000s that went well with their pewter.

Another couple of colors that might be interesting would be Valencia Orange or perhaps a yellow to match the BMW Performance yellow used on the performance calipers:



Here are some others that might help:

Matte bronze on black 1M:

I have to agree with this color suggestion. I have black wheels on my SGM, but would love this color. It's not lipstick red, but like you describe ... the color of a lollipop or even candy apple (a somewhat translucent dark red). I'll try to find an example.

Those pictures were taken in evening light. I don't think they show the contrast/color all that well. Personally, I think deep blue on grey looks awesome. That's my vote.

this is not lollipop red but you get the idea

After looking around I think I might do it lol, I want a blue that looks black at night but blue during the day so I think that might be my final choice, we will see
