looking good!!

personally, though (maybe for other users with the same colour E61, as mine is blue) I would also consider the 172s, they are also 19 inch (dont want to threadjack, just think it might be useful to members for comparison reasons):

thanks for the correction and the url, appreciate that! 135 vs. 166, hmmm, close but I think the 166's win
