Yeah my wife wasn't so pleased when I ordered the 166s a couple of months after I bought my 550... BUT I just finished putting her completely through school (no student loans), bought and paid for her conversion van LOADED with a plasma tv, DVD, leather interior, bling interior lighting etc among other goodies so I was not expecting too much complaining.

Grats on the wheels.
My advice to you personally though, is run. Run FAR away from her. If she is this volitile over such trivial things in life as money, your marraige will not last long. Sad but true. Marraige and love are much deeper than money.
Its not like you blew $20,000 on a night in Vegas. You bought wheels for your car which you enjoy.
The writings on the wall, you should find a woman who can understand your passions and share similar qualities with before its too late.
Just my 2 cents, dont take it personally.
Good luck.
Oh, and post pics etc.
EDITED FOR PICS

Epic thread!
Most girls won't understand our obsession with cars, much like we don't understand their obsessions with bags and shoes (cmon, really?! A "stupid" leather bag costs as much as my DPE's?!). Case closed.
It's good that she's saving minded but there's a point where it becomes an obsession over the fact that you really actually need to save. I know wealthy people/families who live like they're poor and for what, to be able to look at their bank account online and smile? Given a lot of times this wealth is in equity but still. Why live if you can't enjoy it within your means? I hate it when the guy in line in front of me at a local eatery is arguing over 50 cents, then I see him leave in his new Mercedes SL550.
