which csl finish to get hyperblack or gunmetal for a montego blue E90

I'm going to order my rims soon, going to be getting VMR CSLs. However I need some help on which finish would look best, its between the gunmetal and the hyperblack.

I have a montego blue E90, with matte grills and tinted sidemarkers. I'm going for a black and blue theme for my car. My car is also lowered on H&R if that helps. And rim size would be 19"

Now for the question which color would complete my look to give my ride a more aggressive look.

I hope you guys can help me on which finish would look best.

Sorry, I don't have any gunmetal shots on a montego blue, but I think the hyper blacks will match and work out very nicely.

need your opinion on this. I'm thinking of getting lug nuts for my csl reps hyperblack. Now the question is, do blue work lug nuts look good with them?

Hyperblack is more bling and Gunmetal is more race. I'm not a fan of the Hyperblack, looks too cheap.

I'd say I'd be more satisfied than you are about your hyper-blacks. Clean!!!

I would actually go for the gunmetal. I love hyperblack to death, but I just think gunmetal looks so awesome and unique on that color car. Here take a look and see what you think:



BTW: this is a photo shopped picture... I was curious for myself what it looks like... I love it!
