Default PROJECT 745LI - New Wheels (22" MODULARE M2)

Hey guys, we finally got the new wheels in and had them installed this week. We wanted to take the oppurtunity to demonstrate one of our premium wheel lines and also do something different than the normal iFORGED / HRE that we feature. I personally think the multi-spoke look is great for the 7series, but I also think its the most common thing you see. It's gotten to the point that the chrome, multispoke style of wheels (like our temp 22's) are regarded as "745 rims". So we wanted to mix things up a little and do something outside the box, with an aggressive 5 spoke design.

MODULARE M2 Wheels were chosen for their exclusivity, build quality, and custom fitment. Along with the AUTO-COUTURE Aero, aggressive KW coilover lowering and paint color, these wheels really bring it home and also are a lot cleaner and less "in your face" even with chrome finish. The detailing and finsh of the wheels is just top notch, down to the engravings in the centercap. Another cool thing about the centercap is its held with 3 bolts, instead of a rubber gasket, which really gives a sense of substance and strength.

It should be noted that as of today this is the 1 and only set of 22" MODULARE M2's in existence, and were crafted at the request of D2-AUTOSPORT. I have to thank MODULARE N/A for working dilligently with us, in order to complete this project the wheels had to pass battery of tests and DOT approvals and they got it done! I also have to state that even with the slammed stance these wheels required absolutely no modifications to vehicle in any way and they do not rub or touch any part of the car.

Here are the vitals:

MODULARE M2 - 3PC FORGED
CHROME FINISH (Face & Lip)
HUBCENTRIC Fitment
22x9.5 Front (3.5" lip with bbk clearance)
22x11 Rear (5.0" lip with bbk clearance)
NO FENDER MODIFICATIONS, NO RUBBING!

A FEW PICS FROM HIN Atlantic City, I hope you guys like

wow, how car there derrick congrats!!!!!! the new wheels look even better than the old ones imho, very clean design, and the 5" lip in the back play out nicely due to the overall big size of the car. very very nice! so do you plan to get bbk both front and rear then?

and the quad exhaust is done nice too! i would have gotten a bit larger tips for the exahust though, i think that would look better

and the kits are just awesome

THe modulares look sick on your 7. 3.5" and 5" lip is crazy, but not too much. Great job

Awesome job, Derrick! That is one of the cleanest 7 series out there. I wish the new S550 could take on those wheel specs! The 5 inch rear lips look incredible.
