C, your rims are darker than I had thought they'd be....maybe a bit too dark for my liking. I hope you are ready to buy this car in 2 years because you certainly can't turn this back in like it is. But we thought that about the other one too!

It's the lighting. When you see them in person, they're really nice. There are a few shots in there that show off their true color. I get compliments on them by car enthusiasts and non-car enthusiasts all the time. When I tell people they are the stock wheels that have been painted, they're quite surprised. You have to see them in person. It's all about the gunmetal color. I'm so glad they're not black. But again, these are my winter wheels and tires. When I slap my 20's back on in the Spring, it changes the entire look of the car. I wish I could keep them on year-round.

However, I will say this. You probably don't like them, just as I don't like them, because the 166 wheels SUCK! Wait, have I already said that I don't like the stock wheel design??? Hahahahaha!

As for keeping the car at the end of my lease, we'll just have to see... . We'll see what happens when the new M5 comes around and how my business is doing. However, as of right this very moment, I can't part with my baby. It's just way too much fun.
