So I blame Sam for this one. Every time I sign on to the forum, Sam has posted some 7s with great looking 22s. I had recently taken off my 22s and put on 20s. Was just too worried the wife would scrub the 22s since they were pushed so far to the edge of the wheelwell and very little tire.

Ever since installing the 20s, seems like everywhere I drive I come across a 7 with 22s and I was starting to get Napolean's disease. Felt like I was stumpy.

Couldnt take it any longer so back on are the 22s. Will post new pics cause I had dropped the car and the 22s look even better with the drop now.

I will post the 20s for sale soon. Spent all kinds of time and money getting these 20s lips chromed and brand new Yokohama S-drive tires.

I had absolutely no part of this. Show me the pics, and I may admit it.

[Sam@sleekmotoring]

Sam's pics or pics of my ride? Sam's pics are everywhere and that is the evidence he was involved:)

Here are the pics with 22s back on and lowered via Eibach. After that whirlwind of wheel and tire changes, I am really happy having these back on.

Looks great!

(Hopefully you don't start seeing lots of 7ers on 23s )

you should go with what you like not what other wants! if you want 22" then go with 22", if you want 20" go with 20" even if you want to put 24" or 26" is up to you...if you think 26" would feet? go for it.... BY THE WAY NICE RIMS!

He is going with what he likes. I think he has a set of OEM 19"s, Some 20"s and the 22"s. He changes rims like people change shoes.

Sam hit it on the head, unfortunately I havent learned the hard way yet so my efforts usually start with money savings, then step 2 is thinking logical and what is best overall for me, car, wife curbing, etc and usually ends with me doing exactly what I wanted and liked in the first place. Costly mistake which is why I have the 20s for sale now so someone buy them so my costly mistake becomes less costly:)

RC688, are those MRRs on your 6 too. The pic is small but from the angle they look great and XbmwX, I never appreciated the Touring 5 until I just saw your pics and both wheels look extremely good on it Makes me want one of those now.

No, they are 20" Asanti wheels..AF128...Black Center and Chrome Lips, also with KW V3 suspension about 1" to 1.5" lower & i have General Tires on it and i think they are not bad at all, cause i get the full set of tires for $800 or $900 i forget? and they ready stick to the ground if you do some crazy turn. and is cheap enough to replace them all the time! I was thinking about 22" too, but i go for 20" for the performance! But now i still think 20" was a good choice for me! But for the 7 series i think 22" is better, because the car is so big and you really don't need the performance it would be more like Cruising down the road... kick back ,relax and enjoy the view... .
Here is some of the photo of my car:
