I would've gone for E-Pack had my budget allowed.
Its Absolute VFM for the features on offer.

Hey Sumit ..How have you ICE-ed your Punto ? Mind giving me a few pointers here ?
Whats a good stereo HU and a set of rear speakers, personally I'm a Pioneer fan, but haven't checked out the new one yet.

Like you, I have been using pioneer all along as well. (HU, speakers & sub)
This time I wanted to try out something different. I called up a friend (Abhishek). He is TBHP member and ICE expert. He suggested the setup I currently have in my car.
Here is what i have installed:

Kenwood KDC-BT7043U (Bluetooth Enabled, PARROT Bluetooth Kit).
Infinity Front Components.
Blaupunkt 4-Channel Amplifier.
Rear co-axial speakers - Infinity Reference 9633i. (Infinity - Car Audio)

I have not installed sub yet. I am planning to go for JBL or kenwood sub.
I have installed a Blaupunkt amplifier, cause I had that lying with me. I would suggest you go in for JBL amp.
I am very happy with the setup. It sounds much better than pioneer.

whichever set of alloys you choose , make sure it is 98 PCD , not worth risking safety just for looks .
