I respect what you're going after w/ the decal from the historical context, but I think this thread is a perfect example of what I would expect would happen -- the ultra-knowledgeable (those who know the old P-cars that had the same type of thing) and the ultra-annoying (ricers) would love it, but most people in the middle would think it's weird. It does look surprisingly good on your color, though!

As far as the wheels, those don't look like black powdercoat to me -- they look like gunmetal, which is entirely different. I think your car would look good with gunmetal wheels, but not so much w/ the black powdercoat; it would be too much contrast. However, one word of warning on the gunmetal -- to most people, they look like a typical alloy that's very, very dirty. I had them on my old 5-series (remember the M5 from the late-90's that had the gunmetal rims?), and I can't count the number of "nice car, but you should really clean your wheels" comments I got.

But, like everything else, it's all in what makes YOU happy.
