Default Pics of BMW 645i with 22" iFORGED Daytona

Hey Guys, I just thought I'd share some pics of a pretty sweet e63, although I'm normally more of a 21" fan, but the 22's look damn good in black! I think this is the only way you can do 22's on this car, black or gunmetal to "tone it down" a tad. 22" chrome looks like a little too much on these IMO. iFORGED recently custom measured and spec'd these wheels for a the owner of SP Engineering in CA and the outcome is awesome!!

In many cases, wheel vendors simply shove a set of wheels for a 745 / 760 on the 6 series chassis and slip smaller tires on, which results in the suzuki sidekick front wheel past fender look. Note the proper stance and clearance on this setup.

Hope you guys like.

iFORGED DAYTONA
22" Black Daytona
22x8.5 4" lip FRONT
22x10 5.75" lip REAR

Me too. I think this car looks great. 22" may be a bit on the large side but I think with the black finish it doesnt look as big. But with wheels that big it is just screaming for a bbk

Me too. The skinny tire, huge lip action make those rims look more like ferris wheels.

I love it>

I wonder how the ride is. Would this work in the Northeast, where the roads are not nearly as good as in Cali?

Surprised to not see a big brake set-up on the car. The wheels are 22" and add to the unspring weight but brakes still look stock.

Those good roads in Cali, at least NoCal, would put that 49er spirit back in to your backside because that thing would ride like a buckboard up here. That is up until it started shaking it elf apart from the vibration once it bends a rim which would take about five minutes.

Best part of this 645 for those of you who find it attractive is right here, looking at a picture of it.

Absolutely s i c k! This car screams for at least a 21" wheel but 22's do it much love as well. I must admit I am not a fan of black wheels on any color other than black cars though. He can still pull this off nicely.

Now this Black/Black 6 Vert pictured belowis simply OFF THE **** CHARTS:
IMO it easily has the presence of ANY exotic on the road... Only because of it's color and setup.

Wow, I like it. Black just looks better than other colors.

I just wish a $65k car can have a hard drop top.

Sorry, I just don't get the looks of this car, nor why it costs so much. Got to love that BMW badge.....
