Eric,

Skip the sapphire black metallic and get the heated seats and HID. IMO, HID is a safety feature and magnitude/brightness is better than halogen. Further, the lamps swivel on turns. The halo around the headlights are LED daytime running lamps. They are bright and thus another safety feature.

Heated seats are great from Oct - early April where temps moderate here in the mid Atlantic.

17in wheels are fine for NYC with streets riddled with potholes, severe road imperfections.

With your budget, be practical and not fixated on paint color. The other options are more important in the grand scheme of things. Jet Black will look just fine when buffed and waxed.
