I have silver on mine but they look really good as they get darker with brake dust.

Gunmetal may be the call.

Can't find any pictures of that exact setup on a 1-series. But you can get an idea of the color combo on these 3series:

Well, since you're going with a blue&gunmetal theme, go with the Gunmetal. Hyper Silver is more of a classic color and you really can't go wrong with the Hyper Silver on any colored car.

This is Forgestar's version of silver. I think it looks ok, but I also think gunmetal would have looked more aggressive.

haha! I agree, you can't go wrong with Gunmetal. Custom finishes are always an option as well. One of my favorite finishes is our Galaxy Black. It really sparkles in the sun!
