Thoughts on rims to go with this body colour?
Looking to get some larger sized rims this Summer and use my current rims for Winter tires later on. Currently on 18s, which are economical (fuel, tires, noise)...but detract from the great overall looks of the G series 7.
So, wondering what rims people would suggest using with Cashmere Silver and the chrome highlights of the car... Ideally looking to go 20/21 maybe even consider 22 but that may be too big? Not looking to lower or modify beyond the new rim/summer tires. Love the Vorsteiner 107s (22) below...expensive though! BMW 629s (21) with set of tires is £2800 which is a great price (as these things go)... Thoughts? Suggestions? Always good to get opinions or ideas. Thanks in advance! (pics, in order I hope: current 18s, 20s as option on configurator, 21s I've just cut and pasted terribly into a pic, not sure about sizing respective to the car, 22s from Vorsteiner...)

Wow that's a big jump on RIM size. You considered what that might do to ride quality? Your pretty sensitive to that.
20's feel fine to me, cannot comment on any higher but I suspect the ride quality drops off quickly beyond 20. |

cat, you've seen pics of my 750 with the 629's, which i'm really enjoying. the ride doesn't differ much compared to a loaner i recently drove with 18's, and i do get regular compliments.
also, when i upgrades to the 629's at purchase, i looked at other "m-style" wheels but didn't like how they looked with the chrome accents on a non m-sport variant. imo, the 629's offer a classy look with an appropriate mix of chrome & brushed finishes on the spokes. have fun deciding. |
