When recently collecting my old summer rims from BMW, my car got squashed by their workshop garage-door! It damaged the antenna fin and pushed it a few millimeters into the roof
Its being fixed and resprayed at the moment -- at their cost of course.With regards to your wheels, they already look pretty black to me or have you photoshopped your signature picture?

The colour of my wheels in the signature is photoshop!
In dark grey!
I?ve painted the original 18" wheels in dark grey and i wanted to see how the 166 would look in dark grey, so i asked for a photoshop...now i think i?m really going to do it!!

IMHO its such a classy rim, it seems a shame to hide that by painting them black, but knowing you like the "stealth" look I think they could look good with the same kind of finish as the M167 (M6) rims

I am also a fan of the chrome kidneys - it was the first mod I have done to my past four BMW Tourings.
For the spring a good cleaning up and changing
to my 19" summer set will do.
Still unsure of the Eibach sport springs...
