Default 2010 750LI feat D2FORGED VS1 Wheels

Hey guys just wanted to share a new 750LI BMW on a set of 21" VS1s that a customer recently had installed.

To be very honest I personally don't care much for the new 7 series but that was before I saw this one, I am now in love, lol.

This 7 looks so long and sporty with it's Hamann lowering and massive rear lip D2's. Most would go with 22" rollers but for this "Sport Edition" 750LI the 21's with the aggressive fitment works perfectly.

I think after viewing these pics you will agree.

D2FORGED VS1
Brushed Aluminum Center w/Black Accent, Chrome Lip

21x9.0 3" Lip
21x10.5 4.5" Lip

Here's a couple pics for now:

Even with 21" wheels, those tires still look like rubber bands. If the car can fit 22" wheels, can you increase the tire sidewall by 5 mm on these 21" wheels? IMO, that would make it look more like a sport edition, in the sense that you could drive it harder without worrying about damaging the wheels.

Yeah, the new 7 doesn't look as good as the last model imo....until you put a nice set of wheels on it.

Thats like the old "fat" setup on the second GS, it can be done but to many it will not look as nice.

Yes you certainly could run larger tires with the 21's on this car. The owner actually wanted a setup like this with a lower profile tire and more aggressive fitment. We are in the pothole capitol of the world (Metro NY) so we know this setup can withstand some pretty decent hits.

The car drives and handles very well in this configuration, which is what I think the owner was ultimately after.

Thanks for your comments.

Now that you've added the other pictures (besides the first pic), my opinion has changed. The 21's look like they fit perfectly. Nice work.
