First of all, does anyone have 22 inch rims on their 7 series? Second, would that be too much wwheel and will it negatively affect the ride?

Thanks

I'm still looking to buy a 1998 750il

For the E38 - yes, 22s are too much, IMHO.

Its not an SUV.

For a 7Series?! :confused

I'd have to see it, but I think it'd be cool. Of course, I'd use a set of 22s for special occasions, not daily driving heh.

22's are weak...I'm putting the 2inch lift kit on and hookin myself up with a phat set of 25's yo...I rock a 100 inches!

(obvisouly kidding...lol)

If a little is good, a lot must be better. NOT!

Maybe you are looking for the wrong type of car???

20's look the best.

My two cents:
For Racetrack use 18" is the way to go...and I do put down some nice track times on the Nordschleife from now to then

For a nice ride+looks 19" fit nicely...Used that size for the ring, too.
And max usable size is 20"...Tried that for the ring-forget about racing those...For the Autobahn and a nice Boardwalk though-He** yeah!
Here some 20"es!

Those dont even look like 20"s! Amazing.

Thanks for the variety of responses. It was just a question. Thanks to those who responded positively

Just for the record:

22" on an E38 Alpina B12 seen last weekend.

If the wheel wasn't God awful ugly, I think it'd look pretty sweet. Actually, now that I have a size reference for 22" I'll PS something else on it.. umm.. I like John Goga's Forgeline wheels:

Fantastic car, FUGLY wheels... :-O

isn't there some saying like "shoes make the man" or something....

why yes there is...

a little off topic but I think it is very fitting to "the shoes" of your car and the car in general...check this out

Forgeline 20's.

John

perfect

I've got 20" Alpinas and AC Schnitzer lowering springs - ride is firm and get a little tramlining but fine on my 70 mile commute.

Reckon anything larger than 20s will need your arches rolling and not be a fun ride.

(can't post images at the moment - sorry)
