TGIF my E60 friends! An opportunity came up that I could get a brand new OEM M166 set of wheels for about $1600! Before this came up, I was just contemplating between powdercoating the face of my current wheels black or leave it alone. I've attached a picture so you could see. By the way, these are Vertini 20" wheels and Falken 452 tires and they're just 3 weeks old. I am confused and need your help please! Thanks in advance!

black 166's will definitely look good also (if that is an option)

I'm a big fan of the M166s, but have to say your current set-up looks awesome!
I'd say either keep it as it is or maybe colour match the face of the rim?

+1. Lately I've been a fan of concave-style wheels.

Frank, have you gotten your wheels yet?
(courtesy of local member, salaki). I'm hoping next week will be a better week.
