Default Need pics of modified BMW 745's

My pops is going to get one before the end of the year and he wanted to see some pics of modified ones... Esp. ones w/ different wheel designs .

I turned him on to the I-Forged Techniks.. 20X8.5 F and 20X10 R Brushed aluminum (the car will be white) But i'm wondering if the front diameter is too low... Anyone know if it's possibe to run a 10.5 or 11 inch on the rear of a BM?



thanks...

And I am sure that you can run at least a 10" on the rear of that car. Most 7's running around here are on staggered 22" or 23". 20's look ok, but I think the factory 20's look better.

I would suggest running a 22" diameter as well, I think a 20" wheel with a lip will look too small on the 745. 22" with a moderate lowering (like H&R springs 1.3") gives the car a perfect stance. I have never seen Techniks on a BMW (iForged designed the wheels for Lexus and Mercedes vehicles), so I'd love to see that package on a 745.

Also, most of the 22" applications on the 745 run a 9.5" fr and 11" rear wheel so you will be just fine.

This is my pops so it would be a miracle if I can get him to run 20's..LOL and it might thake the second comming of my big brother JC to get him to lower it. LOL X2 Mind you i'll be pressing him to..

Dont the stock 7 series run 19's? I also showed him the AutoCouture Magnifiques 3 peice 20 inch.. and he was also interested... He likes the full faced dish rims...

Thanks for the pics guys..!

Yes - thank goodness ALL Chinese people have the same amount of money! Where would China be without that solid, good, equitable communist system of economics & government? Probably on the fast track to capitalism ...

If only BMW could make enough 7-series' for the other ... billion or so folks over there!

I am sorry to be OT, but are you being sarcastic? Which cave have you been living in the past 10 years or so? China is probably easily the most economically sound country in Asia (if not the world) right now. It's so sound that the government has to SLOW down its growth. Try find a government that has that kind of problem in the west. I am not pro Chinese or anything, but if you have the time to go to China lately, everyone there is so well-off that I feel like a poor man over there. Even the college kids are sporting Louis Vuitton book bags and Gucci laptop covers. The kind of money they spend on themselves are insane, especially when the rest of the world is gasping hard just to get by. Believe me, the income disparity gap in China is probably the highest in the world right now. The 20% or so people who live in the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are filthy rich (I saw way too many Bentleys and Rolls Royces when I was there) while the rest 80% are poor peasants (just like the kinda things you will see on Discovery Channel and National Geographic). But imagine that, 20% of 1.3 billion people is still a tad more than the whole of United States. Can you imagine everyone in the US owning a Bentley? Hehehehe....
