i think 21s are too big, or rather, the rubber bands for tires look wrong and no doubt ride harsh.

The 21s look killer guys! Love the black windows with brushed spokes!

I am almost liking the current 5-series body style. Done up like that, anyway.




(My thoughts: A 9-spoke mesh would look odd because if how the fasteners would sit between the spokes on a 40-hole wheel... 40 does not divide by 9 or 18 spokes evenly).

Those are the cleanest wheels you guys make! 21's are a performance nightmare and overkill............anything over 19's unless it's an Escalade or Chrysler 300 is ridiculous IMO!

Thanks so much for the compliment, it really goes a long way.

As far as anything over 19's on a car smaller than a Escalade, I think that might be a bit of a stretch. Just my professional / personal opinion.
