You may be right, I'm bad at judging weight.

80 is a bit high. Maybe with the absurd amount of bracketry on there, 40-50 seems more realistic. Even that sounds a bit high in my head, but I'd be curious to find out.

That's a ripoff (or scam, depending how you look at it).

If it's not too late, get the car back and wax/seal it yourself or pay a professional detailer to do it.

I Figured it was but it was the only hextra i bought from the dealer. It was $300 (dealer paid the rest) and i get a "protectant" for paint plastics and upholstery once a year for 5 years. Basically prepaid detailing. I could do it myself but i am going to take extra caution to prevent milano pink.

Plasti dip for now... It's hard for me to commit to painting these yet. I'm deciding if I like them or not first.

I'm more partial to the original wheel. Maybe white?

Not a fan of white on white. I might make part of the insert red or put a pinstripe on it. Just something to pop.

My hubcentric rings and Hoen bulbs arrived today, so I installed the rings, and replaced my turn signal and sidemarker bulbs with Hoen chromium bulbs and my foglights with Hoen enduro bulbs.

Of the bulbs? Not yet. In general? Yes - click on the Fit link in my signature (as opposed to the 330Ci link).

May I ask where you purchased your hub centric rings?
