If he's anything like me, it'll be about 2 months before you'll see pictures. hahaha
I was going to take some this morning but was in a rush out the door.
Last night my wife commented that she likes the stock 138 wheels better than these RGR, I was soooooo pissed...
Dumb questions, can we put the OEM roundel logo on these BBS wheels? Are they standard size? She said she doesn't like the goldish BBS logo... Are they easy to pop on and off?

Aftermarket wheels stand out by themselves most of the time. What I mean is when there are expensive aftermarket wheels installed on a car, they grab people's attention immediately, and make people paying more attention to the wheel and ignore the rest of the car.
Sometimes, looking at the wheel by itself is OK, but it does not blend well to the car, and it so much stands out. That's might be the cause that your wife does not like the wheel.
Most of the chicka like 166 because it's designed specifically for E60. For aftermarket wheels, company tries to broaden their market as much as possible, so sometimes it goes well with the car and sometime it does not.
Above are just my opinions
Come down to the conclusion: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

BBS is lookin good. 
To me it seems that it doesn't look that lowered with the new suspension but then I saw you have 19" and non-sport. If you didn't have the new kit then you would've had major fender gap.
enjoy your ride. hope to see you in the next bay area meet.
