For only 4k more, why not make your rear passengers more comfy?

Fancy wheels don't change a cars lines and black hides the ungainly aspects.
I think the above car looks good, but overall I find the E65 7series to be one of the worst looking luxury sedans ever.

Tire technology has come a long way where 25/30 series tires don't ride terrible, still need to be on the lookout for potholes though.
My buddy has 22's on a 300c w/ 25 series that ride smooth
