Personally, I think black is sick and looks very good on E60s.

i would not. swirl marks make good paint look bad, so unless you are prepared to tackle them with a machine when necessary (which sounds like it could be often), i would skip this.

no offense, personal preference, but red, green, and white are the worst color choices for cars IMO.

With the $2,400, sell your 166s and get some nice 3 piece forged wheels.

Ya know if it was cheaper I would say got for it, but $2400 is alot to wrap it. Plus the whole dmv thingy.. I dont know what that would do. It does sound cool, and I was gonna say hell yea do it, but now im thinking. What if you get a small tear, or scratch, isnt that going to be a bitch everytime that happens? It sounds cool in one sense, but I do love the bad look your car has now. White makes it totally different, remember Howi the grass always looks greener White is just as much high maintenence, and it may be more because its vinyl and winter is coming..
