Title: It's moments like this you know you're desperate
Post by: Del Boy on 27 September 2011, 22:31:07
When you're messaging people with other 7 Series BMW's for sale, asking them if they'd want my wheels plus some cash for their wheels, I honestly can't think of why BMW would fit a nice looking alloy like mine, but make it look so small  :( So here I am messaging lots of other 7 series sellers just to get rid of these wheels, I find that desperation  ;D

But don't these look bad:

oooooo just missed out before i had the mig i just sold a mint 7 the e39 or was e38 anyway it had the new sport 19" wheels on it looked the nuts  but who cares about wheels when you got a car like yours. bmw gave me one for a whole 3 days free as a test drive wasnt the ld but a 730d sport what a machine only thing i did not like was the gear stalk wished they put the stick back and lo and behold the latest ones have one wehey just need about 50k though

the 20" multi spokes they do look awsome oooooooo need a cold shower now, nice motor del boy :y :y

Bland and inoffensive.. wheels are a bit dull, too.. ;)

But no.. desperate would be looking at one of the creatures on The Only Way Is Essex and thinking "Yes please.." ;D

The 20" rims on my brother's 7 series made my 17" Omega rims look like pram wheels! As well as the whole car making an Omega look like a Corgi/Dinky by comparison!  ??? ;D ;D :y

large wheels are just fashion statements to me.

the purpose of a wheel is to support the tyre whilst fitting over the brakes.

smaller wheels = taller tyres = better comfort and better handling

They're 245-50-18 on there at the minute, want to move to a 245-45-20 at the front and 275-40-20 at the back so still a relatively largish profile.
