Vb3 Color Crisis!

Alright I am trying to decide between the super silver and the hyper black Vb3 on my jet black 128i. Its a really hard decision with ups and downs for both colors (ie brakedust) just want to see what you guys think would look best before I order these through eas. Im doing the 18 inch staggered setup for sure with ps2's.

WHAT DO YOU THINK??

thanks

I really like hyper black. However, both colors would go great with black.

Super Silver: More classy
Hyper Black: More Sporty

Go with gunmetal. I had them on my jet black 135i and loved them. Looked clean even when filthy.

My thoughts as well...black if you have that theme on the car. Silver if you are keeping the car otherwise stock.

Hyper Black on Black looks great! I think it definitely accents it nicely without going too aggressive with the full Matte Black.

Gloss Black window trim would compliment Hyper Black nicely as well.

How come your the only person to have a problem with the powder coating on the VMR's? I know a couple people that have had them for a while with not one issue. You sure you didn't use the wrong cleaner?
