Not really feeling the wheels. It shows that the car has some potential but I just cant get past those fender flares

I like em

They are different, but I think they suite the car fine.

Yeah that was the main thing for me, I have been waiting to get hard numbers (specs) on one of these. I'd been eyeballing a few of them at dealerships, etc I was scared because I noticed that the OEM wheels looked so good in relation to the fenders and such. I had the sneaky suspicion that they would only have 3-4" lips. It sucks because not only is the car very big, but it has extroverted fenders for nothing. oh well

I think it may be just the style of the wheel and the car is not lowered either. I would like to see some nice iforged or HRE wheels with a 4" lip lowered with a Brabus or Kleeman lowering module. I think that would make all the difference especially if the car had the AMG sport package which flows better with the wheel arches. I think the 7 series has warped our view of lip sizes since it can take a 5" lip. It was not long ago when we all thought a 4" lip on a luxury sedan was pretty deep.
