They are both cool. However, I would choose (1) because I feel that it is more complimentary of the ti. They look more like what might have come originally on an e36/ti. I also think (1) looks cleaner. To me, the finish on (2) makes it look like it constantly has brake dust all over it. On the other hand, if your car is white, (2) might pop a little more with a white car. Both are sweet and as long as they fit I don't see how you can go wrong. Good luck.

#1 for ease of use. #2 for looks if you don't mind keeping them clean.
