Hi I've got a one series F20 in imperial grey. I'm getting the 4 wheels powder coated.. I'm wondering what colour to go with whether to stick with silver or get a nice gloss graphite grey finish like all the new m wheels. There 386m wheels. Anyone with any photos of different wheel colours with this car colour would be appreciated.

Maybe some kind of purple ? Grey fits very well with purple, specialy dark purple.

Since your ride is dark already, silver color particularly hyper silver gets my vote.

I just redid our 355 wheels after I pooched one of them. We did a gun metal gray with a clear coat. They will be our winter wheels. I think they will look good given the car is glacier white. Our other wheels are silver and they look good too.

For your vehicle, being dark in color I would stick with silver. As it provides a nice contrast. I am not fan of all "dark" in color.

Whoa, what is that? A 1 series 3-door hatchback? Was that ever sold in the US?

No. It wasn't. Plenty of strings on why the U.S. doesn't often get 2-door hatchbacks exist; we simply don't buy them. Even among cars that are sold here in 2-door and 4-door hatch variants -- the VW Golf/Golf GTI comes to mind (and, interestingly, the Golf R only comes in 4-door) -- the 4-door version accounts for the vast, vast majority of sales: something like a 4-to-1 ratio. (By the way: The M135i is the 'beast' of this body style).

Dude. The rest of your car has blacked-out "Sportline" trim. What's silver or gunmetal on it? The exhaust? That's chrome, not silver ...

Gloss black wheels. FTW! (My 'blackened' 228i M Sport):
