your set up is looking good as it is!! 
however, the 166 are also sweet i candy too (little biased here 
). you really can't go wrong with either one. btw, that is one great deal for the 166's.

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?

I'm still rolling on style 124 wheels

i say keep the vertini's. if you want refinish those. Best of both worlds. New color, with a nice a lip. Plus they are how old? BRAND NEW, KEEP THEM!!

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!
Here are the pics for comparison. Thanks everyone!
