I picked my 166's from the shop today and absolutely love the way the color turned out! 
The wheels were still very warm hanging on the line, like cookies fresh out of C's Easy Bake oven. 
There is some OP in the finish but I think once they are on the car it will be less prominent. It's still tough to get a feel of exactly what the color looks like from these pics because of poor lighting and my buddy that took the pics had the wrong lens in his case, hence the wheels looking all lopsided.
It was late in the day and I wasn't able to get my tire shop with them before they closed. I should have them on the car tomorrow morning if all goes well.
Drink in the sweater!!

Luckily my Italian perforated loafers didn't make the shot, you know first had how those go over here! We had just got there and I was examining their work wheel by wheel when my buddy took that shot of me.
I am really fired up to get to the shop tomorrow because I leave for a Caribbean cruise with the wife on Saturday. I don't think I could possibly handle wondering for 10 days what they look like on the car.

WOW! Those look HOTT!! If they don't look right on your black car...I'll take them off your hands - would look great on my Platinum Gray ride 
What did that cost you? I'm tempted to find a powder coating place tomorrow. Congrats!
