Hmmm, how did advocado put it in another thread:

Too much metal and not enough rubber!!

Sorry, but I think these rims make the 7er look like a pimp mobil!!!

The 3rd picture look like someone put tin cans on this car. There is barely any rubber left. I assume these are 22" rims?!?
Man just imagine hitting a pot hole doing 100mph with those rims... OUCH!

I like the first two, but I would not do 22". 20" would look very aggressive and sporty with the first set of wheels in my opinion. I'm not feeling the 3rd and 4th set though.

I'm with you on this one. One of the beautiful things about the 750 is the concept of "less is more". My two cents, anyway...

Come on you guys, the white one doesnt even look that bad. I can understand the the black car but the white onr looks pretty neat. In my opinon i rather pay 6 grand for some asanti wheels that spend the 6 rand on them ugly wheels BMW offer. But i must admit i love the new 7 just the way it is. I feel it doesnt need after market wheels ever

I do like the car in white, and I also like the dark tinting. However I don't like the rims. In fact I think they make the car look cheap either on the white or on the black car. Especially since it looks like you are riding on the metal/rims. They are simply too big. These rims just don't fit this car. Not to mention that the ride would most likely be VERY harsh and hard on the suspension and the passangers in the car! Sorry, definitely NOT my style!

The 7 is more an executive luxury car and such cars don't go well with bling, "look at me" stuff.

If I had a 7er, it'll be loaded with some good ICE that's all it needs, because I'm just not feelin BMW audio quality...

Im 31 about to turn 32, I do like the wheels but I can see why the older fellows would like the stock.

Lately I am feeling as if I like it quieter, normal and smooth. I guess its the age crawling up on me.

But for now I will keep my 750 stock as I love the ride and performance engineered into every aspect of my BMW.

I'm 38 and i'm going to wait for the new 5-series next year, because i'm feeling too young for a 7 series...

I agree with you guys! The 7 is typically an executive car. Even when I see some older E65's that have these rims and/or the pimped look - it doesn't look quite right. Maybe on a 6 series or something....
