Unless you are a pimp or rapper, why would you possibly want or need 22 inch rims?

I am more of a purist (no mods), but I am wondering what, except for "looks", are the benefits?:dunno:

how about...because I CAN!!:flipoff: ....anyway in addition to my questions above my car has self leveling in the rear so does that mean i cant lower the rear, how does the self leveling work wat if i have a couple passengers in the back and it will be tilting towards the back, would it level itself and not rub when i have the 22's.:dunno:

 

Great reply.. really shows your maturity. i almost wish that BMW had some kind of fund to rescue (buy back) their cars from people like you.

I wouldn't normally come to a snap judgement (22's can sometimes be tasteful) but judging by your tasteless actions your wheels probably wont appeal to many on this forum.

To anser your self leveling question, I would stay away from lowering the car, as it is pretty low all ready, and you will probably not be left with much room after those wheels.

 

The ride with 22"s is not bad......of course the best ride is stock. as far
as lowering it. I would stay away from that since you have the self leveling
suspension. You will be able to have passengers in the back as long as you get the correct set-up. if you dont you will pay for it with the rear tires rubbing.
check out all the post regarding 22"s in this forum! you should find what wheels and
set-up works for you.

Good luck! :thumbup:

No need to be a rapper or a pimp to have 22"s ....its just a matter of choice!!!!

 

Why not get a Hummer and put a Roundel on the hood. All kidding aside, I have no idea how 22" wheels would work. To me, just seems strange to change the car thay way.
Good luck however.

It's likely there aren't that many people on this board with a 7-series AND 22" wheels
BTW, using that kind of language won't earn you much sympathies on this board and aren't helpful to get a high number of responses either.:thumbdwn:

This board is based on a kind of "give and take"-logic. Sure, many people could give you a helpful answer on your thread but by reading your responses, they consider it a waste of time because it's unlikely you could provide useful information to this board on future posts. You see where this is going?

 

I think with ignorant comments like that you desrved the reply you got.:tsk:

That is like saying those that do no mods are old farts and nerds with fancy cars.

Please keep your ignorance to yourself and learn to not disrespect others by claiming that if they do certain mod then they are blah blah blah..... .....real immature attitude pal:thumbdwn: .

Not everyone is alike and not everyone thinks the same.....thus dont be close minded loser. If that is not your taste then you dont reply to threads with 22" wheels etc. Why do you put so much time and effort into making rude comments. If you cant say something nice then do us a favor and shutup.

Oh and this is not just for you but for other who do the same.....get a life losers. If some thing is of no interest to you then why do you reply with ignornat attitude.:dunno: :thumbdwn:

I do respect other people's opinion and taste - there's nothing wrong with that. I just thought you could have shared this opinion without using bad language. I wouldn't have left a comment about your responses if you would have replied in the same way you did to my post..:thumbup:

Seth Whip on 22" Dubs

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2042837 I didnt lower it and It rides Great! Good Luck Mate! Seth

 

My 2004 745Li rides really smooth with 22s. Although if you're planning to make that drive from vegas to LA frequently, you're going to hate it. My buddy with an 06 750Li on 22s say he'll never make that drive again. the road construction on the 15 is killer, but then again you can always slow down to a crawl passed it.

 

I have a 2004 745Li and the Eibach lowering springs go on this Saturday (It's a tasteful 1 1/4" drop). I will try to post some before and after pics and differences in ride quality. 22s will be next.

 

My 7 is on 22's with a front H&R drop (rear is auto-leveling) 1.5"

I really haven't had any rubbing problems... and it is a joy to drive anywhere, no matter road conditions...

any pics?

 

you'll be ok. i have 22's on mine and you do lose some ride comfortness, but the look more than makes up for it. Since the 7 has such a bog body, the rims look nice and not too exagerating. Good Luck!!! I also have a post on here where i am sharing my pics.... I just put it up today.. Sterling Grey Metalic....

 

Nope



Just don't drop the suspention and you will be fine.

hello ..i am ne to this forum..
i have a 2004 bmw 760LI w/ self leveling rear
how did you lower your rear? i just bought some H&R springs
but im confused on the rears
thanks
Austin

 

well after picking my jaw back up ! ( never seen anyone on here get their trolley's in such a twist ) i love the factory look so will probably go for 21" having said that 22" are tempting AND there's soooo much choice ! i also think that everything can be improved and bigger alloys take away that roller skate look and give the big 7 some real attitude ! go for it dude ! just thought i'd voice my support !!

 

21's did it for me...a 50+ yo computer geek/former judge. However, I did want to be a rapper/pimp at one time. If I get the 22's will I qualify? What if I can't rhyme? or dance? or make the women in my life do what I tell them?

 

way to bring up a thread from the dead

 

I had 22's before they were stolen and to me riding on the 22's felt better than my stock wheels I drove the car everyday and everywhere in the 2 months that I had them, granted you buy good tires. I recommend Conti or Pirelli. Go for it man it will be a night and day difference especially if you have it staggered. Don know about lowering that might change the softness of the ride a little but then again its a 7.

 

I have no problem with my 22" rims nor iam i a rapper or a pimp just a man with a very good job

 

Nice...3 year old thread revived.
