How in the world do you do that in Atlanta? In NJ or other NE state with snow and potholes, sure, but in the sunny south? I've never had to replace a tire in my entire life and only ever lightly damaged a wheel cosmetically, never enough to get it out of round. And I've had plenty of fragile BMW and Porsche wheels...

That's an awful lot of money just for looks...

I stand corrected. If you must have all of the options on the 550, then I agree that the performance and aesthetics of the M5 are worth the slight premium.

I'm personally trying not to buy another $100K+ car ever again (that's why I passed on the M850i) but when I was at the dealer, I do admit to drooling a bit over an M5C sitting in the showroom.

And I have driven them and yes they are awesome.

OP: nice wheels. I like those side vent things, reduces some of the bling.
