A set of Matte Black center caps have been shipped out to you.
As soon as I saw the pics, I knew something wasn't right lol. So they're on the way to you!

No you're right Gene. Im starting to believe that no other set of wheels under the 4k marker will ever have the same concavity as the 166s. I really like these wheels but I really LOVED my 166's. Just wished they came in 20's. I really didn't want to lower my car and the wheel gap was starting to bother me. Love your M3 (finally)

Your car looks great! 
I do agree with Gene though, I def liked the 166's more. Wish the Vertini's were more concave in the front. But a nivce wheels nonetheless.

]Wheels look great. If you're having your car repainted I would consider brilliant white. Here is an individual M5 with it:

That actually looks really nice. The pictures are obviously enhanced tho so I cant really gauge the difference between Starfire pearl and Brilliant white. Does the Brilliant white have some silver mixed in or something? What color code is it off of? Is it an OEM BMW color? Never heard of it before

Yes it's an OEM BMW individual color. It has a metallic pearlized finish to it. I saw one up close in Manheim on an M6 a few weeks ago and it looked tits. Those pics arent too heavily touched. That's pretty much what the color looks like. Search brilliant white on M5 board and you'll get a few examples.
