750i on 21" style 312

Just wanted to share a few pics of a family members 750li on 21" style 312 rims. Initially, we were thinking of putting custom 22" 5 spoke forged rims on the car but decided for a more classic understated look. Also, we didn't want to sacrifice comfortablity and worry about hitting potholes on long road trips.

Enjoy!

21's look good however they are still too small for such a big wheel well. For example. Take a peak kids.

These are 24's. Yes, too big imo, however you see how good it looks. 22 is perfect.

Sorry, not my cup of tea. Don't like these at all. Looks too much like a pimp car, plus I doubt the ride in that car is comfortable... just my two cents worth...

Thanks for the comments and feedback guys. Honestly, 22" is the biggest i would go, but to have the wifey complain everytime you hit a nasty bump and drive like you're looking for landmines just isn't worth it.

looks great, but do you guys drive more carefully/slowly than if you had 18's or 19's fitted?
