21" wheels on a 750Li ?

I purchased a 750 Li at Calgary BMW over the winter here in Canada, it was pre-owned and came with the winter set of tires on it (18" OEMs). The dealership stored the summer set for me, I had never seen them or even thought to ask what the summer wheels were. I went last week to have them switch to the summer wheels and . . . AUGH! It had come with 21" star-spoke 128's !!! I personally have always thought that is visually a bad combination for a 750. But the worst part is that now I am starting to get used to them!

So, I need some opinions . . . I know it is all a matter or personal taste, but what do you guys think? I am actively shopping for 19" wheels to replace these 21", but should I not be in such a haste?

Thanks for your input. My mechanic and tire guy things I'm crazy for wanting to change them. Am I the only one that doesn't like low profile tires mounted on large rims for a luxury vehicle? I thought most felt that way.

I think they look good on the car, Chrome would look even better IMO but every man has his own taste. The offer still stands though lol

IMO you'd be crazy to get rid of 21" wheels to get something smaller...
