New Wheels...

Well not really new, used for about 1200 miles. They're stock 18's off a 2012 E63. I like them because they have a simple look to them.




I'm going to lower it in the near future, the gap is a wee bit to big for me.

Nice choice, but they seem to look SO much smaller than the OEM 18's we get on the cars. Some weird eye trickery going on there.

I know they look kind of small. the tires about the same size, just a little wider in the back.

but it's always funny to me the same old comments people have....

"lower it!" "bigger wheels!" "get some tint!" blah blah blah!!!

they look small because the spoke are narrower towards the lip. if dude got the style similar to the old sport package 5 spoke, then they would look big, even tho they're both 18".


my 2 pennies.
