Post Nice BMW 750




I was never a fan of this design but that owner did a great job. Just needs a BBK.

Nice wheels. You really don't need to do a whole lot to a 7 series to make it look stylish. Granted a set of 22" wheels w/tires will probably set you back at least $4-6K.

No way those wheels pass radial or cornering load tests.

No way in hades.

Reminds me of the HRE 841R. The HREs pass test but the forging is twice as thick.

Looks decent, a little thin spoked for a giant car like that, IMO.

I am no genius, but you are right. That looks dangerous.

I love the body color license plate bar, very clean touch. The red out tails are nice but I'd like to see what it would've looked like before the red outs and addition of the body color license plate bar.
The slightly smoked headlight turn signal is nice too, not overdone but noticeable.
I think it needs some slightly darker tints though.

LOL, no way in Hades!! lol thats a good one Bob.

Those are 360Forged wheels, and they are board sponsor. I'm sure they'll chime in regarding their testing procedures.

The are a little thinnish for the big-body 7, nonetheless its a good looking car.

The 7 series has always looked decent to me on the outside, though this one looks nicer. It's the 7-series interior that kills me. Looks about 10 years out of date in many ways.
